A WMolotov cocktail is a bottle-based improvised incendiary weapon. It is a breakable glass bottle containing a flammable substance, such as gasoline, and usually a source of ignition such as a burning cloth wick held in place by the bottle's stopper. Due to the relative ease of production, they are frequently used by protesters and non-professionally equipped fighters in riots and urban guerrilla warfare. They are primarily intended to set targets ablaze rather than instantly destroy them.
Insurgency[]
The Molotov is an incendiary weapon featured in the Insurgency in the Insurgency: Molotov Spring content update.
A Molotov may be used to destroy a weapon cache, disperse concentrated units, and as an area of denial weapon.
The Molotov does not have a fuse time. It is instantly set off when in contact with any surface, and does not bounce off walls, unlike the AN-M14.
The Molotov cannot be put away when set alight, whereas the AN-M14 can simply has it's pin reinserted back. This means for the player to switch weapons would mean to throw the Molotov away.
