I’ve noticed since the nightmares and visions patch that barrels are now lit by explosions, such as rumbler, ogryn box, veteran frag, and ogryn frag bomb. I’ve not seen anyone mention this anywhere and can’t find it in the patch notes. I am fairly certain they didn’t get lit by explosions before the patch. Is this an intended change?

Rumbler shot did not count as ranged damage before last patch. This could be the reason. (Now burn etc works on rumbler shots)
op is right, its not only the rumbler
Yea barrels blow up instead of igniting after getting hit with explosive damage now. I almost barrel’d myself throwing a gauntlet special into a mauler, it set one off behind me. I’m assuming trauma staff does it too.
Trauma staff now detonates barrels within its entire chip damage radius. Also, boltgun and boltpistol now instantly detonate barrels if both the shot and the explosion from hitting a wall or floor hit the barrel. I’ve witnessed many accidental and self inflicted deaths since the update. I’m hoping this change is a bug and will be reverted at some point.

Seems like more griefing potential, though I guess I shouldn’t give some people ideas; I would like it reverted.
Anything to help me fly as a big man, I approve
