Explanation

Fire Barrels now have an invisible wall above them. This was added in the bug fix patch 9.4.2 as a means to block basic attacks from working over them. However, that new wall also blocks projectiles, meaning that they can be used as cover at a distance or up close. This does not affect realms that do not use the asset or ones that have a unique variant.

Unaffected realms: Lery's, Gideon, Hawkins, Grave of Glenvale, Silent Hill, Raccoon City, Forsaken Boneyard, Withered Isle (except for GOJ), Dvarka Deepwood.
