In a gaming session of Barotrauma, a player exploring sunken ruins ran low on air and mistakenly swapped an empty oxygen tank for a fuel tank, leading to disastrous consequences. The latest update, Calm Before the Storm, introduces a new mission for intense PvP deathmatches and enhances the game's dark and chaotic nature. The player experienced various misfortunes, including being trapped in an airlock by a teammate, being eaten by a sea monster, misusing a plasma cutter, and dying from a closing submarine door.
