Location Description
Lie flat on barrel top. Ground-level seekers walk past without looking down.
Why This Spot Works
Oil Barrel Top on Sewer: Lie flat on barrel top. Ground-level seekers walk past without looking down. Safe during eye-level sweep; late crouch-check may expose. External guides (mecchachameleongame.wiki Sewer Guide) emphasize: Flat / prone on lid. Sewer context — Rust green on pipe interiors is the dominant cover color. Editorial rating 85/100 reflects guide difficulty tier from TheGamer, not aggregated match data.
Pro Tips
Lie flat on barrel top. Match metallic dark red/brown. Seekers check at eye level only.
How to Win Here
TheGamer, IGN, and mecchachameleongame.wiki all recommend the in-game Eyedropper (Space) on the exact surface you touch — not fixed hex/RGB codes. Lighting and patches change effective values; the table below lists which surface to sample per body part and how to apply it.
- Lie flat on barrel top; walking Seekers at default height miss without looking down.
- Lid and body reflect differently — sample separately; do not use side color on the lid.
- Barrel color varies by instance (sources conflict) — eyedropper the barrel you use.
Color & Paint Plan
Body-part breakdown from published guides — sample with in-game Eyedropper (F → Space), then fine-tune HSV / metallic / roughness per surface.
| Body part | Sample from | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| Top / back | Barrel lid color | Largest visible area when flat prone |
| Visible side strip | Barrel body side | If rim visible, sample rim shadow separately |
| Rim shadow | Lid edge dark line | Thin line only |
Pose
Flat / prone on lid.
Metallic & roughness
- · Metal barrel: medium–high metallic
- · Roughness below matte wall

Common Mistakes
- Standing too close to the edge where your outline breaks the geometry
- Using one flat eyedropper sample for the whole body — guides say lit + shadow sides need separate samples (mecchachameleongame.wiki paint-system)
- Moving the camera or adjusting pose after seekers enter the room
- Setting up during hunt phase instead of prep — SlashSkill: spend first third of prep on spot, then paint
