Genshin Impact: Mastering the Bullet Barnacle Battles (Ultimate Guide)

Completing Daily Commissions in Genshin Impact is a vital aspect of the game as it offers players a consistent supply of Primogems. In addition to obtaining this valuable currency, successfully completing commissions also unlocks various achievements, such as the esteemed Reliable Helper or the legendary "Dear Daddy..." in the city of Mondstadt.

When exploring Fontaine, players may encounter a particular daily commission that involves destroying the Bullet Barnacles in Genshin Impact. Despite its initial confusion, players can effortlessly complete this task by following a few simple steps.

How To Destroy The Bullet Barnacles In Genshin Impact

In order to eradicate the Bullet Barnacles in Genshin Impact, players need to counter the Barnacles' assaults by harnessing the abilities of the underwater crab. Here are the specific steps to follow:

1. Locate an Armored Crab nearby that Travelers can acquire skills from. These Armored Crabs, known as Fontemer Aberrants, possess a bluish hue and exhibit a higher level of transparency compared to the typical Armored Crabs.

Stand at a distance from the Bullet Barnacles and aim at them while holding down the attack button. Wait until the Bullet Barnacles' bullet makes contact with the character. Once the bullet hits, release the attack button to counterattack and eliminate the Bullet Barnacles in Genshin Impact.

Perform the aforementioned steps for each Barnacle encountered during the Daily Commission.

To provide a comparison, the regular hold attack features a standard crosshair (depicted in the left picture), whereas the retaliatory strike is distinguished by a circular outline surrounding the crosshair (illustrated in the right picture).

Armored Crab In Genshin Impact

The Armored Crab is one of three underwater creatures in Fontaine from which players in Genshin Impact can borrow skills. The other two creatures are the Hunter's Ray and Blubberbeast. Each of these creatures has unique skills that can be utilized for solving different puzzles.

For example, in terms of damage, the Hunter's Ray has the highest DPS with its slashing attacks. However, it doesn't provide many puzzle-solving abilities. On the other hand, the Blubberbeast's sonar may have a lower damage count per hit, but it doesn't have a cooldown, making it advantageous for tasks that require hitting multiple targets. The Armored Crab, while allowing retaliation, can be a bit more complex to use. However, if utilized correctly, it can significantly increase damage. Additionally, this creature has the added benefit of being able to destroy important objects such as breakable rocks or underwater ore veins.

Daily Commission In Fontaine

Players in Genshin Impact Fontaine have the freedom to choose the location for their Daily Commissions in a newly discovered region through their Adventurer Handbook. Once the region is changed, all Commissions will be available in the selected area after the next daily reset. In Fontaine, players will encounter both land and underwater Daily Commissions. Underwater tasks include destroying Bullet Barnacles, as well as other objectives such as destroying objects or retrieving items from the sea floor.

Furthermore, the overground missions encompass various combat tasks and opportunities to engage with the citizens of Fontaine, leading to the possibility of earning Genshin Impact achievements.

Genshin Impact is currently accessible on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, and a Switch version is currently under development.
