Windows are destructible parts of buildings and vehicles.
Background[]
Windows are easily destructible parts of buildings and vehicles. They can protect you from 1 bullet before breaking. Some buildings have entrances with windows close by. When a window is broken, it can be repaired by using windscreen glass on the window as if it were a car part. Also, windows make loud shattering noises that can attract zombies if broken. As of the update which made melee weapons more useful, melee weapons such as the crowbar or the hatchet can be used to break a window. Before this update, it was impossible to do so.
Notes[]
- A little known fact, the windows of buildings can be repaired. This can be same way that the windshield of a vehicle is repaired.
- Windows make a very loud noise when broken, and can alert both zombies and players alike. Break them with extreme caution.
- Windows of buildings will never regenerate on their own. They require the input of a player in order to be repaired to their original condition.
- Windows used to be indestructible in an early version of the game. A pre-completion update to the game made all windows destructible.
- Players can lean outside of windows using the crouch button (X) and the WASD keys.
Bugs[]
- Sometimes, windows will not play the sound that triggers when it breaks.
- Window breaking is broken, when you shoot a window it plays the sound, but the window won't break and nearby zombies won't be alerted to your location.
