The Oil Barrel is a fuel source in the game. It can be found between the Campfire levels 5-6 of The Map. The Oil Barrel gives the most fuel out of any fuel source, that being 4 fuel points (πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯). The Oil Drill is a Craftable drill that can be crafted by the level 4 Crafting Bench. The Oil Drill drops 1 Oil Barrel into the ground every 8 minutes. It can be placed next to the Campfire to automatically drop the Oil Barrel into the Campfire. The Oil Barrel can also be used to refuel the Flamethrower.

Obtainment

The Oil Barrel only spawns in Campfire levels 5-6, making it quite difficult to obtain, due to the distance from the campfire and the large amount of hostile entities. The Gold and Legendary Chests have a chance of dropping an Oil Barrel upon opening, which are usually present in Campfire levels 5-6.

Trivia

Oil barrels are the strongest fuel source present in the game, i.e. they give the most amount/percentage of fuel per barrel. Oil Barrels are one of the only two fuel sources that can be obtained from a Crafting Recipe, that being the Oil Drill, the other fuel source being Biofuel from the Biofuel Processor. Both Oil Barrels and Fuel Canisters can serve as Fuel Ammunition for the Pyromaniac class's Flamethrower, although previously it only used to be the Fuel Canisters which could be used as ammunition.
