Molotov Cocktail

Recommended Posts

This would be mainly for the standalone.

These are on of the most common improvised weapons since WW2. They're easy to make, the things to make them is common and varied, and they have several uses.

First off: Burning shit. Who doesn't like to burn shit? I mean, c'mon. Fire is fun. Grass. Buildings. Forests. People. Zombies. Everything burns.

It can be used as a signaling tool (Fire ahoy! :D ) It can double as a weapon (because being on fire hurts). It can be an anti-building tool, like, certain buildings could be set afire and burn entirely.

Imagine a guy camping in a building. You know he's there, but you don't want to run in there and get shot in the face.

Just invite Mr Molotov to the party and let him and his sexy russian accent take care of your problems! Even in Soviet Russia, Molotov burns YOU!

But in all seriousness. An improvised molotov cocktail would add flavour to the game. It probably would take a while to kill zombies. They'd be attracted to the flames, perhaps congregating around it. Against players, being on fire would SUCK. It would be like the bleeding effect, except, you know, bright and hot-like. And nothing quite says 'hey, fuck you!' like having a faceful of burning glass and makeshift propellant.

I agree with the OP, and it's improvised so we finally would have a use for all those empty whiskey bottles.
