The Watchtower is a type of security building featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Description[]
Tall lookout tower to oversee your compound grounds. Adds to your defense rating.
Details[]
Watchtowers provide a vantage point for survivors, increasing their effective range. This however comes at the cost of an increased minimum effective range (if applicable) as well as being unable to shoot enemies near the base of the tower. They also provide a Security bonus and can have one survivor assigned to them. Survivors inside watchtowers are able to shoot through smokescreens created by smoke grenades. Upgrades to this structure improve its Security bonus, health and Cover rating.
Should the watchtower be destroyed with a survivor still inside, the survivor will be instantly incapacitated.
If a Leader or Medic is positioned in a watchtower, they can heal themselves normally, but cannot heal other survivors positioned elsewhere unless they leave the watchtower. They also cannot heal other survivors positioned in a watchtower.
