Overview[1]

Runner Zombie; Horse Barns are rare Buildings found in Dead Rails.

The Barn is a small farm structure located far away from the main railroad, all across the Wild. It is a simple and low reward structure which is fairly rare. Players will likely see a Barn once or never in a run, though it's possible to see many of them if the player is lucky. Additionally, the Horse Cart is exclusive to the Barn. The Barn can be found in the distance, away from the railroad in the Wild. The spawn is randomized like most loot buildings.

Strategy

Barns always contain 1-2 Horses and Saddles inside, making them useful if players do not have a Horse yet, or if they found a wild Unicorn but do not have a Saddle to tame it. It is recommended to be attentive when driving the Train, since Barns spawn far away from the tracks and are thus easy to miss. Players can actually walk up the sides of the windmill, then jump onto the very top of it or onto the roof of the Barn. This can be a quick and easy way of staying safe at night.

Trivia

Barns, like Outlaw Camps have a chance to spawn with no Zombies in them. Category:Locations Category:Buildings Category:Rare Building
