The Blast Barrel is a Hardmode bomb dropped by the Wall of Flesh. When thrown, it will roll across the ground through all enemies it comes into contact with until it hits a wall. Upon colliding with a wall, it will explode into shrapnel and fire shards. Shrapnel and fire shards inflict the On Fire! debuff.

If the player has full rogue stealth, the barrel will bounce off of the walls 2 times before exploding on the third wall. Bounces still cause an eruption of shrapnel and fire shards.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Trivia

• This weapon is a reference to the Donkey Kong game series, which frequently features explosive barrels that launch the player in certain directions, sometimes referred to as "Blast Barrels".
