Salvaged hammer vs sheet metal door.
They are stronger than sheet metal doors but weaker than armored doors.
The sheet metal door is the most common door found on bases due to its resistances to melee weapons and fire but relatively cheap cost to craft.
The salvaged hammer is the best tool for quickly melee raiding the sheet metal door taking only 28 minutes 10 seconds and 24 salvaged hammers.
While they can t be burned down only going up to 250 health means they only take a single c4 or 4 satchel charges to get blasted down.
Watch me beat trees with a hammer.
28 min 10 sec salvaged hammer.
Regardless it is still relatively weak to explosives compared to its expensive indirect upgrade the armoured door.
50 frags and a pipe tbh is easier to get during a wipe than it is to get 450 wood and 225 stone for the basic tools.
