Effect

Will explode when damaged with any weapon with a demolition force of 5 or higher. Many of the barrels leave the surrounding ground area immolated for approximately 10-seconds.

Types Of Barrels

Super Earth Barrels.

Generates on all missions. Most often found at specific Minor Places of Interest and usually plentifully around extraction areas. Often also placed right next to a large amount of mission objective terminals most commonly during "Launch ICBM" and "Enable E-710 Extraction"-missions.

Automaton Barrels

These Batteries fuel the Automaton war machine.

Illuminate Barrels

Generates on Illuminate Missions generally within Encampments.

  • Unlike fuel barrels Super Earth, the Illuminate Dark Fluid barrels won't leave fire-field but instead explode with a much higher potency alongside reaching further away compared to the SEAF petrol-barrels and the Automaton Batteries.
    • Any surviving Helldiver from the explosion damage will be left immolated / suffers from fire burning status effect.
