The Metal Bar Barricade is a set of welded metal bars over a door or window. It holds back zombies while leaving gaps to see and strike through.
It sits in the Barricades part of the Building menu and comes in a single version. It uses the Welding skill. The in-game tooltip says the horde can at least be seen before it breaks in. Pointy weapons can attack through it. That turns a weak opening into a defensive post. It costs more than a Planks Barricade. The Metal Sheet Barricade is the other metal option, built from a single Steel Sheet.
How to Build Metal Bar Barricade
The recipe is known from the start. It asks for Welding level 3 and gives 30 Welding XP.
It takes three metal bars. Each bar can be an Iron Bar, a Steel Rod or a Steel Bar. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods fix the bars in place. Both are drawn down by the build.
Welding level 3 comes early for a welder. The Welder occupation starts at Welding level 4. Other builders reach level 3 by welding simpler pieces first.
It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP.

How to Use Metal Bar Barricade
The bars cover a door or window. Zombies must break through them to get in.
The gaps keep the view open. Defenders can watch the outside and stab through the bars with a spear or other pointed weapon. This lets a group fight from behind cover.
Use it on windows that face the main approach. A clear view there gives early warning of a horde.
Notes
- The tooltip says pointy weapons can attack through this.
- Iron Bar, Steel Rod or Steel Bar all work.
- It keeps the view through the opening.
- The Metal Sheet Barricade uses a Steel Sheet instead.
