        Next they’ll ask why red barrels explode when you shoot them…

        Or why crates contain the specific ammo and supplies you need, or why pottery reliably contains money, or why old dusty castle walls hide entire meals that are somehow still edible…

            They’re regular barrels that are burning red hot from housing the explosion. Explosion spirits prefer to nest in occupied areas with plenty of goons around, and nobody can move their housing to a safer place without burning themselves.

            It’s a shame how players keep blaming their enemies for leaving giant weak points around when it’s really just an unfortunate natural phenomenon.
