The thing was solid and heavy as shit. ^[1]

Gangway Chock is a defense Carl crafted on his Engineer's Table as a gangway defense for cars on the Iron Tangle.

Description

The Gangway Chock is a massive sheet of metal fashioned out of a breastplate from the Third Floor. It's a rectangular hunk of metal with rounded edges, thinned out to about a 1/5 inch. It's "solid and heavy as shit". ^[1]

Carl wedges it into the space between the seats and the gangway doors.It's much larger than the doors, wide enough that no monsters can get around it unless they are tiny. Carl can pull it in and out of his Inventory. ^[1]
