The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' using as a container, was fully implemented within the experimental [[Changelog|0.56]]. Before that version, the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was just an environmental object. Within the experimental [[Changelog|0.57]] you are able to store the '''{{PAGENAME}}''' in your inventory, since it only takes up 4 slots by now. It's very likely this will be changed in future versions of the game.

Trivia

The Oil Barrel was an environmental object in DayZ Standalone that can be used to create a small fire from its top. It can be lit on fire by selecting the "Put on Fire" command when a player is close enough. The fire can also be put out once lit by selecting the "Put out Fire" command. You do not need a Box of Matches to light the Oil Barrel on fire, which makes the Oil Barrel an effective means of cooking for survivors without the need to create a Fireplace.

Current Known Locations in Chernarus

Oil Barrels have been identified with a couple of different building types, including General Military and Industrial locations. They can also be found in large cities such as Chernogorsk. Oil Barrels may be found near the tents at Stary Sobor and the medical tents behind the hospital in Chernogorsk.
