Barrels (DX)

Barrels are common game environment objects in Deus Ex. Specifically, "barrel" is the item name for the barrel1 class of objects.

Types
The barrel1 class includes 11 different types of barrels. 6 types have special properties, some of which may pose a hazard to the player. All barrels have a mass of 80, which means that tech 1 Microfibral Muscle is required to lift barrels (but is not required to push them).

The different types of barrels are listed below, ordered by their texture number. Internally, barrel types are defined by the SkinColor attribute (e.g., SkinColor = SC_Explosive, for the explosive barrel). Barrels that explode inflict damage of the "Exploded" damage type.

Burning barrels
Burning barrels belong to a separate class of objects, BarrelFire.
