Cone spikes?

[xaviersxmen]

Anyone remember this? It was in the game then it was pulled out then added again. Well I was building my normal tower build in this version. But I cant seem to find them at all now and not even in the cheat menu which is where I normally pulled it from when they took it out again. Am I missing something and is it in there or is it really gone?

I know they were in A15, and they weren’t in A18,19,20. So I think they removed them in either A16 or 17

They were called Wood Log Spikes. And could be upgraded to (I think) scrap iron spikes. The last version they were in was A16.4. Removed in A17 experimental.

Removed apparently because there was some sort of exploit when placing them in advanced rotations. I don't remember the specifics of the exploit, and never heard anything official about if that's why they were really removed. Could have been for some other reason.

IMO, they were insanely OP (even without any exploit). Because they had a massive multiplier on leg damage and would covert all zombies to helpless crawlers pretty much automatically. Three to five rows of them, built for a small amount of wood and iron, would defeat an entire late game horde night, literally while the player sat back and watched.

Well that sucks I have a build I use it for. I dont know why they couldnt remove it from official game and keep it in the cheat menu.

They’re still seen in certain trader POIs, so the shape should be in there somewhere, probably under a different name. I’d start by making some shapes and searching the shape menu for “cone.”

If you want strong spikes, the intention is that you now use iron spikes, which were purposefully designed to be traps instead of made to do damage as an afterthought.

Yeah I remember the wood log spikes, I would use them all the time on my bases. If you placed them 'sideways' on walls they would act as an extra layer of defence while doing damage to zombies that got too close, which all the time since they had to hit them to break them trying to get to you.
They were fun to have for an easy horde night, but yeah, they were also OP as all hell.

ahhh... yes..... truck stoppers!
I would like to see them in action IRL....

I still recall making deep moats around a base filled with the spikes. Good times.

I loved these things. I mean on the wall or flipped over. I wish they didnt take them out.

lol i would find actual players would fall into those holes too because they just "wanted to take a look what was down there." Just a random Blue backpack was among my spikes one day... I was like, "ahhh ..." I had some really good times building one of those for my friends and I on a pvp server years ago.
