Protection

The Sandbag Cover provides some cover for players crouched behind it. Players can vault over it by pressing Space. It is immune to small arms and heavy machine gun fire. It can be run over and destroyed by all land vehicles (except for the Ambulance, the Bicycle, and the Motorcycle), this will drop a portion of the sandbags used to build them.

Construction

The Sandbag Cover can be curved and its length can be between 4 and 10 meters. Its total health is proportional to its length. Since cost doesn't scale with length it's preferable to always build them with the maximum length allowed (10m).

They can be built on beaches, roads, Bridges, ice, and on the paved areas inside large towns.

Protection

The Sandbag Wall is a taller and sturdier version of the Sandbag Cover. It provides cover for players standing behind it. It is immune to small arms and heavy machine gun fire. It can be run over and destroyed by all land vehicles (except for the Ambulance, the Bicycle, and the Motorcycle), this will drop a portion of the sandbags used to build them. It's taller than a soldier but you can see and fire over it by standing on something, like a Storage Box or another Sandbag Cover.

Construction

Upgrading a Sandbag Cover into a Sandbag Wall requires 3 Sandbags.

Tips

• Sandbags work well in combination with Barbed Wire. Putting barbed wire in front of sandbags makes it much more difficult for enemy soldiers to vault over and prevent them to use your sandbags as cover.

• Be sure that placed Sandbags don't block view of nearby defensive structures like Rifle Pillbox.

• All land vehicles (except the Motorcycle, Ambulance, and Bicycle) can easily destroy sandbags by driving over them, so do not place sandbags as a roadblock. Tank Traps and Barbed Wire Fences are much better options for blocking vehicles.

• Soldiers can stand on sandbags or a storage box placed directly behind sandbag walls. This lets them shoot over the sandbag wall while being given better protection and a better vantage point in comparison to standard sandbags.

• Sandbags are immune to small arms and heavy machine gun fire.
• Sandbags, Tank Traps, and Barbed Wires are the only defenses that can be built on bridges.

Trivia

Sandbags structures used to be constructed using Basic Materials. This was later changed with the introduction to Sandbags, which are Large Items, requiring a more robust logistical network, such as cranes and flatbeds.
