Kegs are the most powerful explosive devices in King Arthur's Gold, coming in the form of barrels of gunpowder. They are currently available only to full premium members.

When activated, they destroy all blocks within the explosive radius, including dirt, bedrock, and stone blocks. Kegs can be bought at a Demolition Workshop for 30 coins in Zombie Fortress. Certain servers will alter the cost and explosive power of a keg. Some servers also have different versions of kegs with different blast radii and costs.

Carrying a keg takes up the C slot (where hearts, catapults and outposts go), so it is only possible to hold one keg at a time. While holding it, left click will light the fuse, and pressing C will throw the keg. It is recommended to throw it after lighting the fuse, to escape the explosion.

Knights can use their shields while holding kegs, but cannot attack because left click will activate the keg. Builders can attack with their hammers, but cannot build for the same reason, and archers cannot fire arrows, but can pick them up.

Notes

• After a keg is activated and thrown, anybody from either team can pick it up and throw it again. A keg can kill the one who threw it, but will not hurt that player's allies.

• Kegs can also explode when hit by a fully-charged arrow, shot from either team. Therefore, archers must be very cautious when an ally passes by holding a keg.

• Any nearby explosion will also detonate a keg, making chain reactions possible for compounded destruction. It also makes keg storage very dangerous.

• Kegs and bombs are the only ways to destroy bedrock, although the blast radius of a keg is far greater then that of a bomb.

• Knights can also use their shields to bomb jump when kegs explode.

• A keg can be loaded onto a catapult, but the timer will continue while it is loaded, so it may explode early.
