It's really funny , like the video larian put out -- play your way (they made a crate/barrel wall while chat locking Alex)

Some fun facts (or at least what I noticed)

- More weight equals more damage
- Damage dealt also damages the barrel/crate
- It can Critically Hit (the additional damage does not effect the "durability" of the barrel/crate)
- It is based off your Critical Hit Chance
- Critical Hit Damage also works (from two-handed and scoundrel)
- If you equip a dagger it can backstab
- No height bonus
- Bonus damage from Warfare or Pyro do not work

I haven't checked bonus damage from flesh-sac or death wish work -- I'm sure there is a lot of more interesting mechanics to it.

Also, thrown objects can miss! I've had that happen a few times.

There are a few chests that are unbreakable (they have no health bar, and you can't examine them), so you can just keep stacking their weight up until you get tired of it. I'm currently transporting a 6,000+ weight chest around right now.
