Not bonus action shoves and barrelmancy that become are expected to be your go to solutions..
Expected? Hardly. More like a choice to use or using for sh*ts and giggles or for the lulz.
Ironic that shove, as an attack action, is covered under making an attack used within DnD 5e.
Ironic that gunpowder barrels (and be assured, given creative license by and to Larian Studios, oil barrels and firewine barrels would fall easily under those rules) are covered within DnD 5e.
Larian is not making you do or expecting you to use anything.
