In-game information[edit]

Halo Wars 2[edit]

Unstable Barrels may be found throughout the campaign of Halo Wars 2 as an explosive that can be targeted to deal extra damage to enemy units and structures.

In Awakening the Nightmare they were introduced as a player-buildable fortification type available in Terminus Firefight, interchangeable with Floor Blades and Shield Barriers at predesignated fortification sites on the map The Last Bastion. Once placed, the barriers can be manually detonated by the player to deal damage to forces crossing them, with a short countdown ensuing before they detonate.

  • Info: places down three groups of explosives which can be manually detonated.
  • Cost: Supplies 100
  • Upgrades:
    • Unstable Barrel Stack: doubles the amount of barrels, making the explosion much larger and more damaging.
    • Cost: Supplies 50
