Barrels NEED to stop launching players half-way across the map

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

Especially when ALL IT DOES is stun the enemy; why should the player characters follow different set of physics?

Agreed, the knockback is extremely overtuned.

Especially when the ceiling mounted explosives will also send you flying up, up and away or when barrels send you fly in the opposite direction to which they're located.

Specially Ogryn which are lorewise supposed to weight around a ton. Yet I'm still flying 15m+ when I'm close to a barrel that explodes. Cartoon physics.

[Ethical Lune]

True.
It is funny tho.

And considering that half the times they're placed on catwalks with deadly pitfalls AND they're only triggered by players, Fatshark is literally setting trolls up

i got thrown into the wall and got stuck hanging off the roof, inside a pipe. No one could get to me, i could not let go. The barrels can keep the knockback, just make it horizontal and not an arch.

The first time I was yeeted into a death pit from a barrel explosion was hilarious. Now it's just frustrating. Especially when you get grouped with that one random who will shoot every barrel just for the hell of it, not caring if you're already adjacent, running past it. We really need vote kick to be added.

are you complaining that only players are dumb enough to shoot the barrels?

This is perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think it's hilarious enough to leave in the game.

I can see why people would be annoyed, and it certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings if it was changed, but I'd weirdly miss being blown off in random directions at high speed.

At times you may not even notice it if there's an entire horde on top of it, tbh. And sometimes I'm not even aiming anywhere near it and it still somehow explodes, lol

Knockback is worse than original doom
