The Barricade is a Heavy class placeable gadget that creates a strong wall to take cover behind.

Usage

The Barricade can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Heavy build loadout.

While the gadget is held, an indicator will show a potential placement of the Barricade as a blue hologram in front of the user. If the hologram is red, the gadget will not fit in the target location. The secondary trigger can be used to rotate the placement hologram. Using the primary trigger, the placement can be confirmed to deploy the gadget. It can be only deployed on floors, not walls or ceilings.

The gadget can also be retrieved to restore a charge, by interacting with it for a few moments while looking at it from up close.

Stats

Effects

The Barricade can be deployed by placing it down on a nearby floor. It will absorb damage like a regular structure. Opponents can destroy it by attacking it. Items that deal high structure damage will have an easier time removing a Barricade.

The Barricade is made up of 5 panels placed in a horizontal line, with each panel having the same amount of health.

Properties

Gadget

Placeable — Can be placed attached to a surface. An indicator shows the exact target placement.

Multiple Charges — Can be used 2 times. When a charge is used, it automatically recharges over the cooldown time.

Retrievable — Can be picked up after being deployed to restore a charge.

Deployment Limit — 4 Barricades can be deployed at a time. An excess deployment causes the oldest Barricade to disappear.

Barricade

Attached — Attaches to a surface upon deployment. Sticks to the surface even if it moves. Weighs down any carriable object it is attached to.

Solid — Has its own collision, meaning it blocks bullets and contestants can stand on it.

Destructible — Can be destroyed if its health is fully depleted, such as through hits from bullets or explosions. Teammates can also destroy it.

Reshapeable — Can be reshaped by the Data Reshaper into a piece of decor by opponents.

Permanent — Does not disappear by itself.

Usable by Opponents — Can be used by opponents to their advantage.

Guide

Strengths

The Barricade has the highest amount of health out of any gadget per segment, let alone when adding up the health of every segment.
A relatively high amount of Barricades can be placed compared to other gadgets, making it strong on Power Shift.

Weaknesses

The Pyro Grenade can be thrown at a Barricade, making it unusable as a proper barrier as anyone hiding behind it will burn.
Explosions with high structure damage such as the RPG-7 can immediately breach a Barricade.

Tactics

The Barricade can be combined with the MGL32. After placing a Barricade, the user can fire their grenades at the ceiling while the target cannot retaliate as the user is taking cover behind the Barricade.

Item Mastery

Item mastery XP can be earned by deploying the Barricade and by blocking incoming damage with it.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.

-== Uses & Interactions ==
+The [[Barricade]] is a [[Heavy]] class placeable gadget that creates a strong wall to take cover behind.
-While the shield is effective in protecting players from incoming projectiles, contestants with a [[Builds|Light Build]] or [[Builds|Medium Build]] will find it difficult to shoot over the barricade. Consequently, they will have to leave their cover to retaliate. Placing the shield in a restricted area can hinder speedy evacuation during critical situations such as when a grenade is thrown at the player. The shield may begin to break apart when it is shot at, resulting in openings that players can exploit to shoot through.
-Each of the 5 panels have separate health, surviving between 30 and 40 M60 shots [690 - 920 Health], It is worth noting that the same panel can have varying amount of health, when you spawn 2 different barricades [sometimes surviving 32 shots and sometimes 40 for example]
+== Usage ==
-It is apparent that explosives deal additional damage to the barricade, as the RPG which does 180 damage, will instantly blow up the entire barricade [all 5 panels] on a direct hit.
+The Barricade can be selected as one of three [[Gadgets|gadgets]] of any [[Heavy]] build loadout.
-Up to four Barricades can exist at the same time.
+While the gadget is held, an indicator will show a potential placement of the Barricade as a blue hologram in front of the user. If the hologram is red, the gadget will not fit in the target location. The secondary trigger can be used to rotate the placement hologram. Using the primary trigger, the placement can be confirmed to deploy the gadget. It can be only deployed on floors, not walls or ceilings.
-==Instructions==
+The gadget can also be retrieved to restore a charge, by interacting with it for a few moments while looking at it from up close.
