The Blast Barrel is a Hardmode bomb that is dropped by the Wall of Flesh. When thrown, it will roll across the ground and infinitely pierce enemies until it comes into contact with a wall. Upon colliding with a wall, it will explode into shrapnel and fire shards or bounce again then explode. Shrapnel and fire shards inflict the Hellfire 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.

Its best modifier is Flawless.

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".
