The Brick Wall is a strong wall built from bricks and concrete. It is one of the toughest walls a survivor can raise around a base.
It belongs to Masonry and comes in Poor and Good tiers. The in-game tooltip calls it a strong wall built from bricks. Both tiers start with far more health than wooden walls. Skill adds a large amount on top. It suits a permanent home that must hold against hordes. The cost is weight, since bricks and concrete are heavy to carry. Wooden walls are faster to raise when time is short.
How to Build Brick Wall
The recipe is known from the start. Both tiers take four Brick, two units of concrete and a mason's trowel. The trowel comes back after the build.
The Poor tier asks for Masonry level 2 and gives 20 Masonry XP. The Good tier asks for Masonry level 5 and gives 50 Masonry XP.
The Poor wall starts at 500 health. The Good wall starts at 800 health. Each point of the builder's skill adds 70 more to either one. A skilled mason therefore builds walls that last much longer.
Stock bricks and concrete near the site before starting. Lay the Poor tier while learning, then move to Good at level 5.
Each version of the Brick Wall has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.

How to Use Brick Wall
The wall closes off a tile edge to zombies and survivors alike. It forms the shell of a new building or seals an old entrance.
Zombies attack built walls, the same as doors and windows. High health means the wall holds longer under that pressure. This is where the Brick Wall shines over lighter walls.
Leave gaps for a Brick Door Frame and a Brick Window Frame where needed. Those frames use the same bricks and concrete.
Build Tiers
Both tiers cost the same bricks and concrete. The Good tier needs Masonry level 5 and starts with 300 more health. Skill adds the same amount per point to both. Build Poor walls early to train Masonry, then switch to Good for the outer walls that face the most danger.
Each version of the Brick Wall is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
| Version | Image | Build Skill | Build XP | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poor | 
|
Masonry: 2 | Masonry: 20 | 500 (+70 per skill level) |
| Good | 
|
Masonry: 5 | Masonry: 50 | 800 (+70 per skill level) |
