The Metal Spike Wall is a structure that inflicts damage to anything, tamed dinos, wild creatures, or players, that touches its spikes. Admins use it to create lethal perimeters around bases, protect high-value taming pens, or quickly control creature movement in confined spaces.
It requires a foundation to place and occupies a single foundation tile. The spike wall deals damage on contact, making it useful for both PvP defense and PvE hazard control, though players can walk through the spikes at the cost of health.
