Exploding Keg when digged up

  • Hey, we did a Fort of Fortune with my friend and for precaution we didn't took the 2 athena keg and burry these 2 for later. We sold everything else and came back to dig it up.
    And what a surprise, bc they exploded at my face.
    Is it a feature or just a bug ?

  • When you bury a Keg of any kind it becomes a trap set to detonate once dug up. It is a feature. Don't bury Kegs if you plan to sell them.

  • @redeyesith
    Only problem is: a trap for who? It doesn't show up on treasure maps, so the only ones digging them up are probably the ones burrying them...

  • @super87ghost keen eyed pirates don't need the maps to find buried stuff. There is a visual indication to something being buried. So if you place a few things on a single island in close proximity there is a good chance that anyone who starts digging will stop looking at the map and just dig up everything in the area they are in. If they are close enough to something else someone might also assume the X Marks on the map were overlapping due to proximity and just dig without verifying there is still an X or not.

    I've stolen a fair few things that have been buried before just by wandering around on islands and noticing the telltale signs of buried loot. No Maps, just noticing stuff.

  • I think they should explode instantly

  • @pithyrumble agree, they are poor traps most of the time.

  • Feature.
    Bury those only as traps.
