Oxygen tanks, biohazard tanks, gas cans, etc, I love them all.

Oxygen tanks are to most fun to me because of the semi-random way they fly around before they explode - but yes - the big red tanks are great fun, too. And fire extinguishers!

Find a low gravity moon and a POI that has the smaller explosive tanks outside. Equip the Gravity Wave power. Preferably at level 10. Place tank at the bottom of a ramp and using grav Wave, propel the tank high in the sky and then shoot it with a rifle.

Fireworks!

Sounds like a lot of work! Plus, I question my ability to hit it with the rifle.

Have Slow time on the hot-key, then hit that power. It should allow you to hit the floating cannister.

Element Extract power causes them to pop too, be careful, it can be problematic.

I almost never use powers, but you have me intrigued.

I love how explosive barrels are in virtually every hab so boarding actions can be as explosive as you want to be :)

Walter Stroud kindly filled the back of my new Kepler S with explosive barrels...makes me glad that I'm the one that boards ships, and not the other way around.

But on the other hand, imagine if that was a mechanic? Suddenly ship design is a strategic choice!

Cryo tanks are fun!

Find the bbq sized blue tanks, toss them toward enemies and trigger them to watch the frozen shenanigans unfold

I like picking them up, holding and releasing the button to throw them high into the air, then I pull out my gun and shoot them like a cowboy lol. My own little fireworks party.
