For the build 41.78.16 article, please see the old revision.
An aerosol bomb is a thrown improvised explosive device that is created only by an engineer. They will cause meager explosions with very common items found in residential and commercial areas (especially survivor houses and vehicles).
Usage
An aerosol bomb can be thrown by holding RMB to aim and pressing LMB to release, where it will be thrown at the location of the mouse cursor. Upon landing, the aerosol bomb will explode covering a radius of 6 tiles, while also starting a several sparse fires. The fires themselves will last about 10 in-game minutes, not taking into account any other objects or zombies caught in the flames. Damages to zombies will be minor, but the exact opposite for players; injuries to players can range from scratches, lacerations, deep wounds, and burns from shrapnel (scratches and burns being the most common). These will more often than not cause moderate bleeding, severe pain, and critical damage or death.
Upgrades
The aerosol bomb has various upgrades allowing it to be triggered in several ways, rather than the basic throw and explode.
Sensor upgrade

| V2 | 4 tiles |
| V3 | 6 tiles |
Timer upgrade

Location
The distributions can be found in the following table(s):
Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
