The Molotov Cocktail is a Throwing gadget introduced in the 11.1.0 update.

Appearance

It appears to be a green glass bottle, most likely having a flammable liquid such as gasoline or alcohol inside. It has a beige tag across the front, with illegible text on it, and a white rag drapes off the mouth of the bottle.

Performance

The player throws the Molotov Cocktail from their right hand in an arc. When it lands on the ground, it would explode and emit a fiery radius on impact. It would burn any player that steps in the radius. The afflicted area will be ignited by flames for 8 seconds.

• 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.
• If you throw it to close to yourself, you will damage yourself. Keep this in mind when using it in close quarters combat.

• Try to kill the user before he/she has a chance to throw it.
