Overview[1]
Abandoned Buildings; Town; Outlaw Camps; The Alamo; $20 (1x, formerly) Sheet Metal is a defensive item in Dead Rails.
Sheet Metal is designed to be welded to the Train to enhance its defenses. It can be used to prevent Enemies from climbing aboard or to cover vulnerable areas, effectively turning the Train into a mobile fortress. It is also bulletproof, making it particularly useful against Outlaws, Zombie Soldiers, and Sheriff Zombies. Sheet Metal can be purchased at General Stores, where it is occasionally sold in Crates of four for $80. It can also be found in Abandoned Buildings, Towns, and Outlaw Camps. Additionally, The Alamo class spawns with three pieces of Sheet Metal.

Strategies
You only need one box of Sheet metal as you can make a bunker by putting one sheet metal on the door, allowing minimal clearance so only players can get in. Additionally, you can put the other three sheet metal on the side windows. Place Sheet Metal facing outward on the Train to prevent enemies from climbing aboard. Pair Sheet Metal with Barbed Wire for enhanced defense: Sheet Metal blocks climbing, while Barbed Wire stuns and damages nearby enemies. Carry Sheet Metal as a makeshift shield to block bullets from Outlaws, Zombie Soldiers, and Sheriff Zombies. As a Vampire, Sheet Metal can be used to shield yourself from the sun during the day. However, it causes you to not see anything. Holding one against a door will barricade said door, acting as a one-way filter; preventing Enemies from entering while allowing teammates in or out. Just be careful not to stand too close to the doorway. Using this strategy while lowering the bridge protects you from EVERY Enemy, but its risky since if you let go there is likely no getting out.
