Returnal Why cant I destroy this energy barrier with my melee attack?
Posted On: May 4, 2023

This energy barrier doesn't appear to be any different than any of the other energy barriers I've destroyed (unless it's another colour blind issue), so I'm really confused as to why I can't destroy it. The energy barrier is a door to a blue (?) triangle room if that makes a difference, although I don't see why it would.


Why can't I destroy this energy barrier with my melee attack? Is this just a bug, or is there something I'm missing here?


Question from user Wipqozn at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

It could be a colour blind issue. As I know, there are two different kind of barriers: red and orange.


Red energy barriers can be destroyed with a strike of your Atropian Blade (your melee weapon).


To open orange energy barriers (the one in your GIF) you also need to purchase the Blade Balancer Artifact from a Fabricator. It costs 250 Obolites and has the vague in-game description:.


Enables a more powerful melee attack.


Once you’ve purchased this, you can then walk over to the orange barriers and press Square to use your melee attack to slice through them.
