Trivia[]
- Pouring the oil from the canister is an illegal action, and can only be done on flat surfaces with enough room around 47 for the animation to take place.
- After the oil is poured, it can be ignited by sparks like a normal oil spill, which can be used for an accident kill.
- Shooting the canister without pouring the oil will cause an explosion like with a Propane Flask.
- After the oil has been poured, the canister cannot be refilled.
- This item was originally exclusive to Freelancer, and being found on Ambrose in the boat repair building.
- A later patch added the "Adding Fuel to the Fire" challenge to unlock the Oil Canister for use on other maps.
