The **Watchtower** is a type of structure in *DayZ*.

Watchtowers can be up to three levels tall, with two modular panel walls on three sides of each level.

## Construction

To begin constructing a Watchtower, a Watchtower Kit needs to be deployed. Once a Watchtower Kit is deployed, Level 1 Base can be constructed and dismantled using a Shovel. The Watchtower Kit will be dropped once the Base is built. You may have to look at the entrance of the tower itself to it build up. However, this isn't always the case.

### Bases

To build additional levels on the Watchtower, the base and the roof of the previous level must be constructed.

Each level's base (L1 Base, L2 Base, L3 Base) requires **4x Wooden logs**.

Each level's roof (L1 Roof, L2 Roof) requires **20x Nails** and **10x Planks**.

Each level's stairs (L1 Stairs, L2 Stairs) require **18x Nails** and **6x Planks**.

### Walls

Each level has three walls. Each wall can build an upper and lower panel, and has an attachment slot for a Camo Net.

Level 1 Walls can also mount 2x Barbed Wire, which have to be constructed using Pliers.

#### Wall Base

A Wall Base must be constructed to add Wood or Sheet Metal panelling. Wall Base panels can still be built regardless of whether or not their level base has been built.

Each Wall Base requires **8x Nails** and **4x Planks**.

## Trivia

* Stairs are not required to construct the next level's base, however it may be inaccessible without them.
* If Level 1 Base is deconstructed using a Shovel, excluding the 4x Wooden logs, any resources inside any level will be lost.
* Resources can only be placed in currently constructed levels, but if a level is deconstructed with resources inside any of its respective slots, they will remain and can still be manipulated.
* Tools that can perform multiple actions depend on a player's position, meaning some actions may be difficult to locate.
* The fences are a little smaller than the height of a floor of a tower.
