PS5- How do I un-target explosive barrels and such? - eviltoast

On PS5… If I walk too close to them, I’m stuck in a attack targeting system that I cannot get out of. Sometimes I can switch party members to fix it, but if the entire party is close enough- everyone is stuck. I’ve had to reload saves because I cannot get out of this.

The game wants me to attack the barrels and won’t let me not do it.

    Drag them to your inventory. They are of good use in fights.

    PS: to cancel a command press right mouse button.

        I am not a hoarder if that is what you fear.
        I even give back. By spreading them in preparation of battlefields. And come that on some unfortunate event an anemy stands too close to a such a barrel i use fire arrows to redeem both.

      PS5. No right mouse button. No equivalent either because no button escapes it. Not enough strength to pick it up, and if I did have it- I don’t want to pick up every barrel in the game because of a bug.

        Strenght should no be your issue. but if you have a full inventory it will fail of course.
        Spread your freight over your characters, sell the rubbish or send some heavier items to you camp. you will need at least 40kg of free weight to pick those barrels up. You can of couse send them to the camp too, where you later can pick them up again.
        I would recommend to always carry one or two of those barrels with you. dropping them before a battle and shoot a fire arrow on them as soon as enemies approach it can gain an insta-win. Af if you discover you did not need it, you can pick up the unused barrel afterwards.
