Completely noobish question here regarding the fortifications.
Explain the barriers to me-because it seems that the enemies try to disable the barrier, as opposed to walking through them-especially the crawling enemies. What is the best way to use them-and how many total would be best to set up at one time?
I desperately want to get the Sentry Gun...
Here's the deal. You level up in the area of everything that you buy. Barricades go like this:
-Tire spikes
-Barbed wire
-laser fence
-fire laser fence
So at first, you can only buy tire spikes. You gotta spend enough money to get to level 2 in barricades and then you get to upgrade tire spikes to barbed wire. Keep doing that and eventually you get laser wire, etc. Once a barricade has been upgraded, it costs less money to keep it up and running than it would to let it get destroyed and NOT rebuild it between rounds. You let once get destroyed and decide not to rebuild it and you will have to start at the begining and lay down tire spikes, then barbed wire, etc.
Sentry guns are your reward once you have got your decoy level up to 3. Once you do that, you can lay down those sentries.
I've found that the best results come from picking just ONE command post, then building up everything there. Some people try to build up all the command posts, but you are stretching your money pretty thin that way. Lots of tire spikes and stuff which are easily wrecked.
Speaking of things getting wrecked, enemies ruin barricades a number of ways.
-Tire spikes (ruined by enemies walking into them, or tickers and wretches breaking them. Its important to note that enemies can walk through these without having to destroy them first. They slow enemies down, but do not stop them.)
-Barbed wire (same as tire spikes)
-Laser fence (ruined by enemies walking into them or little guys smashing them up just like the other two barricades, but the difference is these STOP enemies. They can't just walk through these unless they are destroyed first.)
-Laser fence level 2 (same as above, but they light enemies on fire sometimes)
Note that Berzerks and other bosses will destroy all barricades without breaking a sweat.
I hope that helps. Good luck!
