The Nitro Barrel applies Nitro to players and vehicles around it when it is destroyed. Players can destroy it with a pickaxe, any weapon (ranged or melee) or using a vehicle. The Nitro temporarily increases the movement speed of a player or vehicle.
For help on how to find the [Nitro Barrel] device, see Using Devices.
If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be useful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to a device's purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
Contextual Filtering
Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This reduces clutter in the Customize panel and makes options easier to manage and navigate. To help identify them, values that trigger contextual filtering are in italic.
All options are listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option's value, there will be a note about it in the Description field for that option.
Device Options
