Not true. Just made an experiment on westlondon (suicidal, non-support class).

Police station gate: goes up to 40% on single welder charge during waves 1-5, then goes only to 20% in latter ones. Never destroyed.

Church doors: always get to 30% on single charge, no matter if they were or weren't destroyed (that includes destroying by grenades and zeds alike).

Seems like every door has personal settings changed according to difficulty of the game and number of current wave.
I'm glad you noticed this, because i've never cared about welding doors that much to pay attention how much a charge of welder gets me.

if a door needs welded, harass the nearest support until he gets his arse on it. =D

Also, how does a guy weld a wooden door shut?

Or contain a bunch of zombies by welding the center of a door thats so degraded, it looks like a singe hit could knock it off its hinges, welded or not?

Just the off-topic Q if the Day.:D
I'll put that in the same basket as the question: Where does yaoi lube come from?

I just don't see how a concentrated blast of fire and air can blow open a pair of steel doors welded tight.
I suppose the fragments flying into the door could ding it up really bad and leave it weak against subsequent stress. Otherwise, a lot of people do in fact put their pipes right on the door...


EDIT: Re that question: Um... the same place where everyone else buys lube?

Apparently you've never read any yaoi before. The lube magically "appears" as they start with the intercourse, no lube is seen until insertion happens. it's quite magical really.

This is... disgusting. :(

Well, now we know you read Yaoi. :) >_>

Personally, I think welding doors is poor playing, but if a door is destroyed during a wave, it should stay destroyed for the rest of the game.
I don't know. I think it's kind of a fun gimmick for when you just want a mob of specimens behind the door and take out about 20-30 of them at a time.

Some maps require you weld a door just to keep your back safe, like in foundry.

Even though realistically it makes sense that doors should remain broken throughout the entire game, i just like the gimmick of welding doors too much to agree with it.

Oh you got it all wrong, in the yaoi one with the tentacles, they didn't need any lube whatsoever.
It was just magically lubricated.
Even when they brought in the goat to the dude who was chained to a wall and covered in cream with strawberries on his nipples was there never any mention nor use of lube, go figure.

And this is why I don't know if weapons other than grenades should damage doors.
You could accidentally destroy them, for example with shotgun spread, which makes welding even more gimmicky than it already is.

LOL. You just made my day. I meant magically lubricated, so where does the magical lubrication come from?

As i think nutter said, Threads are like ships. You just never know where you're going to end up.

As long as people aren't tearing each other up i'm perfectly fine with thread derailment.

I honestly don't want to know how this ever came up.

Must be Zeron's magical derailing powers at work once again.

But really, how did yaoi or lube come into this?

I much preffered derailment by the wooden door.

But as to answer your yaoi question: It's manga. Further more, it's porn and manga at the same time. I don't think that either porn nor manga has any kind of base in anything resembling reality, I think we can call this one unexplained and be content. After hearing about that hentai with the allergy-rape, I no longer even try to make sense of it.
