Walls compared
Building walls come in four tiers — wood, stone, sheet metal and armored — and each tier has exactly twice the health of the one below it (250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 HP). Explosives do not scale evenly with that health, so the cheapest way through changes from tier to tier.
| Structure | HP | C4 | Rockets | Satchels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden Wall | 250 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Stone Wall | 500 | 2 | 4 | 10 |
| Sheet Metal Wall | 1,000 | 4 | 8 | 23 |
| Armored Wall | 2,000 | 8 | 15 | 46 |
