Vanilla barbed wire is pretty pointless for base building, someone can take it off in seconds from the outside with common pliers. This simple mod stops pliers from being able to to remove barbed wire, and also adds BoltCutters which take 5minutes to remove 1 piece of barbed wire. There is also a barber wire barrier that can be deployed from a kit. The idea being you make the BoltCutters a rare spawn or expensive trader purchase. The mod maybe better suited to servers that have nerfed raiding tools and/or improved raid protection, but thats entirely upto you. This mod now requires the CodeLock mod as a dependant mod. This is so the new feature to fix the invisible barbed wire issue also works on gates using the CodeLock mod. Server owners do not have to use the CodeLocks if they wish, but the mod must be installed for BetterBarbedWire to work. Removing barbed wire with the BoltCutters also removes the invisble barbed wire until DayZ fix it. Ive included a types.xml entry that you can copy pasta into your server file and adjust as you wish.
