Exploding Barrel knockback is the most irritating thing in this game by far

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

I’m entirely convinced these things just explode whenever they feel like it because of how easy it is to “hit” then theres no sound notification when in the middle of fighting so suddenly you hear a character warn the barrel 0.5 seconds before it explodes and then when it explodes you get sent flying further than any boss character can send you and not only that, but enemies barely get sent flying.

Why in the hell is it like this?

Just lost a run because a barrel was lit and knocked off my entire team, no one even heard it was lit.

I love it!

When running Threat 1 missions to do the weekly 25 runs, I yeet all the teammates all the time!
