Gas canisters, also known as toxic canisters, gas barrels, or simply green barrels, are carriable objects that are placed around the arena grounds. They release gas upon being triggered.
Overview
Like any barrel, gas canisters are placed at random locations picked from a large set of fixed barrel locations specific to the arena. It is possible for no barrels to be present in a round. They can also be obtained from balloons. Contestants can pick up the barrel and carry it around the arena.
The canister will start leaking gas when it takes enough damage. When it does, a 15 second timer will start. During this time, a small, localized gas cloud will emit from the barrel. When this time expires, or when the canister takes more damage, it will explode into a large cloud of gas.
All gas from the gas canister deals the same amount of damage and has the same properties as any other toxic gas source, such as gas grenades or gas mines.
Strategy
- Gas canisters can be used as area denial tools while defending a cashout.
- Destroying a balloon of gas canisters will drop them to the ground and start releasing gas. This can be used to catch opponents who are bunkered down off guard.
