Release, Platforms, and Availability Notes

This guide content is for Drain the Lake on Roblox. Bucket vendors and unlocks are handled in-game via the starting area NPC and progression tied to your account playtime, with some items also connected to Gems or purchases made using Robux.

Checklists: Buckets You Can Use

To drain the lake, you’ll need to use a bucket, and selecting the right type is part of the process. There are multiple bucket options available, and the game provides a full set of choices you can obtain and use in Drain the Lake.

Every Bucket and How They Work

You can find your bucket options through the Buckets vendor located on the left side of the starting area. Go up to the NPC, check which buckets are available for pickup, and then equip them directly from this same location.

As you keep playing, you’ll be able to unlock additional buckets. Many of these unlocks are linked to earning Gems, giving you an in-game goal to work toward. That said, not every bucket is freely available—some are restricted, and others may require spending Robux to obtain.
