A shorter-range version of Big Barrel


— Description, Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia[1]

The Black Barrel[1][2] (ブラックバレル[3] Burakku Bareru?) is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a cannon-type weapon usable by both enemies and the player, and one of the primary weapons of the Black Arms.

Description[]

The Black Barrel is mostly black with purple spikes-like objects on top. Being a Black Arms-native gun, the Black Barrel is of an alien design with a wide, round frame and a white and purple eye-like barrel on the front. It has the Black Arms logo on both sides.

Overview[]

In gameplay of Shadow the Hedgehog, the Black Barrel can only be found in certain stages. They can be wielded by Black Warriors who will use them against the player.

Black Barrels can be dropped by defeated Black Warriors that wield them, released from breakable Containers or by destroying Cell Cannons. Touching one will make the playable character pick it up automatically, and pressing SNNBGAMECUBEDISCO/Square/XboxX (whether on the ground or in mid-air) while using the crosshair to aim will fire it. As a cannon, the Black Barrel can eliminate surrounding obstacles and enemies with an explosion. Less than impressive, but not mediocre, the Black Barrel has a short range, low rate of firing, and delivers medium damage, but can take out at least five enemies alone. A Black Barrel has a total of eight shots, and once those run out, it becomes useless. However, it can be reloaded with another eight shots by picking up another Black Barrel.
