Powder Keg



Powder Kegs are gun powder containers. These explosives are used for mining purposes but they can also be used to blow up gates and barriers. They Dwarves commonly use this object in their work.

They can be obtained from Dwarven Powder Keg Stations, which hold an unlimited supply of them.

They are also found in Ancestral Lands and Kaanai Canyon at Alliance Battle shrines, these kegs are used to destroy the gates into the fort and when dropped, all units in the adjacent area will be knocked down and set on fire for 3 seconds.

Powder Kegs are "bundles", this means they have to be carried by hand. When dropped, they will explode after a short fuse time of about 3 seconds.

Contrary to intuition, the explosion caused by Powder Kegs does not do any direct damage to creatures. It does, however, knock them down and set them on fire.
