Molotov Cocktail

Added by Mistertrouble189- "Here's an easy recipe for a single incendiary device. A bottle of booze and a rag are all you need to turn any enemy from rare to well-done. Easy as pie as long as you don't accidentally barbecue yourself."
- — Description
The Molotov Cocktail is a thrown weapon featured in Dead Island which will explode on impact and catch enemies and objects on fire. When thrown at an enemy, it will cause damage over time due to the fire. The Molotov inflicts a total of 300 damage in an Area of Effect (AOE) on impact.
The blueprint used to create this weapon can be found on the ground during the quest "Born to Be Wild". It is located in the room where the first interactive server reset option is found. Making a Molotov Cocktail requires two bottles of Alcohol, a Rag, and $50.
Prior to that, Molotovs can be obtained through two survivors in the Resort area. Mike will give the player one Molotov for every five bottles of Alcohol he is given, and Harlan Johnson will make a Molotov for every three bottles he receives. Both characters provide Molotovs throughout the game.

Notes on use
Edit
- The Molotov's AOE will adhere to the ceiling (not being broken on the ceiling and having the liquid fall to the floor). It has also been seen causing damage through car roofs.
- The AOE effect stacks on opponents so that the longer a target is in the flame the more damage they will take per second. (Care should be taken not to throw the bomb too short in the face of on coming attackers as the area is decent sized).
Glitches
Edit
- There is a glitch where if the player throws a Molotov and a zombie climbs on to them (when they have to LT/RT-L1/R1 to get the zombie off), the thrown Molotov is used but there will still be another one. Could be used for duplicating purposes.
