The Barrel is an interactable that spawns on almost all Environments. It contains 8 gold and 4 XP that can be retrieved by opening it. This amount scales linearly with the difficulty coefficient and is decided by the value of the coefficient when entering the stage, not when opening the barrel.

Since money-costing interactables scale exponentially with the difficulty coefficient, the relative reward of a barrel compared to the cost of a chest falls off quickly with time. Against a small chest, for example, at the beginning of the game on Easy Difficulty the ratio is roughly equal to 1/3, and then drops off to approximately 1/4 and 1/5 for the Hard and Impossible difficulties respectively.

Beside the little resources they provide, barrels can be used to launch Bundle of Fireworks.png FireworksBgCommon.pngBundle of Fireworks.pngBundle of Fireworks
