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.

Performing a stealth strike with the Blast Barrel will cause the next barrel thrown to bounce off of walls 2 times before exploding on the third wall. Bounces also cause an eruption of shrapnel and fire shards.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Trivia

• This weapon and its tooltip are 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".
