If you misbehave in the world of Crimson Desert and harm other residents, you will quickly find yourself on the local police’s wanted list. It doesn’t matter if the act was a mistake.
What should you pay attention to? To the explosive barrels marked with a white X in Crimson Desert. They are mainly found in the fortresses and facilities of enemy factions that you can gradually retake. In battle, the explosive containers often prove useful: Destroy one of these barrels with an arrow at the right moment and the nearby enemies will be defeated and sent flying.
Unfortunately, the barrels do not disappear when you have cleared the area and reclaimed it for your allies. Anyone who overlooks such a barrel in pacified areas and accidentally causes it to explode can quickly find themselves in a lot of trouble.
From Zero to Supervillain
An example from the community: The clip from CaptainOhWow on Reddit vividly illustrates how quickly a seemingly safe situation can turn into fire and smoke. The player intended to gain height with his power slam in the fortress to take a shortcut over the wall.
However, his downward power slam hits a nearby explosive barrel, which immediately goes off. The result: the nearby wooden framework and a tent explode as well. NPCs fly injured through the air. The message immediately appears in the interface that there is a high bounty on the cliff. The nearby guards immediately attack the still burning main character.
How does the community react to the clip? Many other players have also had contact with the explosive barrels, as reflected in numerous comments.
- Entenvieh comments, “The worst boss in the game: explosive barrels.”
- inofthatidontno adds, “I died twice in the big battle at Karins Quarry due to exploding barrels.”
- booferbutt references a meme: “Boy, that escalated quickly”
- Mindless-Ad-2656 admits, “Unintentional terrorism… Not the worst thing my cliff has ever done…”
