Straight answers for Sheet Metal Wall
Tips & Counters
Explosives cost the same from either side of this piece. In the game a wall's soft side only takes extra from melee tools and bullets, never from explosions, so there's no discount for blowing the inside face: pick the route with the fewest pieces instead.
Confirm the tier before you commit boom. Wood, stone, sheet metal and armored walls (and floors of the same material) look similar from a distance but each tier roughly doubles the last one's raid cost, so a mis-ID wastes real sulfur. Shoot it once or check the sheet metal wall page if you're not sure of the tier.
C4 is both the cheapest option here and the fastest to place — there's no real speed/cost tradeoff on this target.

The same from either side: explosives ignore the soft side. C4, rocket, satchel, beancan, F1 and HV-rocket counts were measured on our own server; the rest are current-patch chart values. Sulfur/charcoal/metal are the raw materials to craft each explosive, not counting furnace or mixing table time.
