This page was last updated for an older version (41.50).

The current stable version is 41.78.16, released 2022-12-12, so information on this page may be inaccurate. Help get this page updated by adding any missing content. [edit]

Please update the version after updating the page.

A Molotov cocktail is a hand-made incendiary weapon which can be thrown by the player.

Usage

Molotov cocktails do not cause any damage upon impact. They will, however, spark a fire in their area of effect, allowing them to be useful for dispatching a medium to large group of zombies. Care must be taken though, as the fire can spread and even engulf the thrower in flames.

A lighter must be in the secondary slot in order to use it. After throwing, another Molotov will be chosen as the current weapon if the player has one.

It is recommended to read more about the dangers of fire.

Crafting

Molotov cocktails can be crafted from a full bourbon and a ripped sheet, or from a gas can, an empty bottle, and a ripped sheet.
