Barricades can be placed to cover your colonists from gunfire, but not melee attacks, thrown projectiles, or explosions. Barricades take damage from bullets and explosions. Raiders can also use Barricades as cover, so place them in a way so enemy units cannot take advantage of them.
Barricades provide 57% cover effectiveness, meaning that bullets aimed at targets behind Barricades have a 57% chance to hit the barricades, and a 43% chance to cross over. Barricades slow down pawns walking over them.
