The Barricade acts as your city’s primary defense in Whiteout Survival. When your city faces an attack, the Barricade will start burning, and this burning process lasts for 30 minutes. As it burns, the Barricade gradually loses health.
Each attack on your city adds an additional 30 minutes to the burning time of the Barricade. As the Barricade’s health decreases, your city becomes more vulnerable.
If the health of the Barricade reaches zero, your city will be teleported to a random location on the world map. This teleportation results in the loss of territory perks for your city.
Perks of Barricade Upgrades
Upgrading your Barricade is a smart move, as it boosts its durability greatly. Increased durability enables your Barricade to withstand more fire damage, thereby making your city far more resilient against attacks.
It’s essential to remember that when your Barricade is burning and you’re offline, it loses health at a faster rate. So, upgrading your Barricade not only improves its strength but also helps maintain its health even when you’re not actively playing.
Additionally, upgrading Barricades offers another benefit: it increases your city’s power. In the game, upgrades to both the Furnace and Barricade contribute the most to increasing your overall power.
How to Restore Barricade’s Health?
To restore the health of your Barricade, simply tap the “City Defense” button located on the Barricade. This action will redirect you to a new tab specifically for city defense options.

In this tab, you will find a button labeled “Restore Barricade.” By tapping on this button, you can initiate the process of restoring a small portion of the Barricade’s health.
Remember that there is a limitation to how often you can perform this restoration. You can only restore up to 240 health points for your Barricade every 30 minutes.
Therefore, it’s recommended to restore the health of the Barricade whenever you are online to ensure it remains in good condition and ready to defend your city.
