Unlike most other great modern indie platformers, Stray doesn't really feature combat in the traditional sense. Granted, it is possible to crush Zurks using barrels, and, for a brief period, destroy them with the Defluxor.

Near a locked door on a strip of old carpet, they'll find a metal bucket that can be picked up by pressing the triangle button.

If done correctly, the bucket will slide down the slope and get lodged in the fan, halting its blades so that the adorable little feline can continue onward toward the game's main area, the slums. If not, players can simply pick the bucket back up and drop it a little
