Strategy
Tips
- This gadget is useful in smaller compact areas.
- This gadget also works effectively as a temporary barricade to stop/slow enemy rushes.
- It has the ability to headshot severely weakening anyone hit.
- Throw this at a point or flag in Flag Capture (PG3D) or Point Capture to stop enemies temporarily from taking the flag or point. Or using it for weakening enemies armor.
- Throw it at an enemy and when the enemy is fleeing, track them by looking at the trail of fire the enemy creates.
Counters
- Avoid the arc or else you will receive burning damage, causing you to lose health and/or armor.
- Rocket jumping is effective as it is hard to hit enemies that are in the air.
- Try to eliminate the user before he/she has a chance to throw it.
Trivia
- This is based on the real-life Molotov Cocktail.
- If the Molotov is thrown high into the air, it will actually explode before touching the ground, and the fire it creates will remain suspended in the air.
