Good to know
- Costs 100 credits at Trust level 2.
- One sits in the Cloverdale armory during Expect The Worst.
- Rippers do not use them.
What it's good for
Throw one into a group of humans to stop return fire, then push in. It also buys time to escape a pack. It does no real damage, so follow it up.
Compared with other throwables
Frag Grenades kill, while Flashbangs only stun. Molotovs are craftable and handle Freakers better. Keep a Flashbang for when you are cornered.
