Genshin Impact: How to Destroy Bullet Barnacles

Daily Commission Quests are an excellent way for the players to earn extra Primogems or Mora in Genshin Impact. Alongside introducing a new region, Fontaine, Genshin Impact has also introduced a new Daily Commision Quest for the players called ‘Don’t Get Crabby,’ which requires you to complete a task named ‘Destroy all of the Bullet Barnacles.’ In this quest, you must destroy three marked Bullet Barnacles while swimming underwater. It might seem a bit tricky to some, but it is not very tough if you know the proper technique. Here is how to complete the ‘Don’t Get Crabby’ commission quest by destroying all the Bullet Barnacles. 

Genshin Impact: How to destroy Bullet Barnacles

In order to destroy the Bullet Barnacles, you will need to acquire the Xenochromatic Armored Crab ability. These crabs live under the water in the Fontaine region and can be identified by their blue slug-like structure. You can absorb the ability of these crabs by only aiming and holding your normal attack at them. After successfully absorbing the ability, go near the Bullet Barnacles and use this ability to repel their attacks and destroy them.

After you have started the ‘Don’t Get Crabby’ commission quest, three Bullet Barnacles will be marked on your screen with objective markers. Follow the markers and make your way near the Bullet Barnacles. Make sure to position yourself inside the attack range of the Bullet Barnacle while keeping enough distance for yourself to react to the attack. After reaching their range, these underwater creatures will start firing energy balls at you. In order to destroy a Bullet Barnacle, you need to deflect their attack back at them. 

To do so, press and hold the Elemental Skill button while aiming at a Bullet Barnacle. Now, wait for the Bullet Barnacle to shoot at you and the projectile to hit your Xenochromatic Armored Crab Shield. Once the projectile hits the shield, instantly release your attack to deflect it. Releasing your Elemental Skill will send the energy ball back at the Bullet Barnacle, and it will be immediately destroyed once the attack hits the creature. Repeat the same process on the other two Bullet Barnacles to successfully complete the quest.
