In action, the wick is lit and the bottle hurled at a target such as a vehicle or fortification. When the bottle smashes on impact, the ensuing cloud of petrol droplets and vapour are ignited, causing an immediate fireball followed by a raging fire as the remainder of the fuel is consumed. Another method is to place a reactive substance in with the gasoline, and treat the label or wrapper paper with another chemical; when the bottle ruptures, the two chemicals mix and ignite; this is safer to handle if done properly, and does not betray the thrower with a visible flame prior to the throw.
 
 
Other flammable liquids such as methanol, turpentine and E85 have been used in place of gasoline. Thickening agents such as Styrofoam, tar, strips of tyre tubing, sugar, blood, XPS foam, egg whites, motor oil, rubber cement, and dish soap have been added to help the burning liquid adhere to the target and create clouds of thick, choking smoke.

A home-made flammable grenade.— In-game description, Fallout

The Molotov cocktail is a thrown weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics

Usually made from either a high grain alcohol or petrol in a bottle, Molotovs are the urban terrorist's weapon of choice, being relatively easy to use and produce.

Its damage type is Explosive (not Fire as could be expected), so it's useless against wanamingos and other creatures with little fire resistance. In Fallout 2 though, this peculiarity makes Molotovs useful at blasting open stronger (those that can't be broken by normal attacks) locked doors as the cheapest explosive available.

Locations

Fallout 2

Notes

As with other explosives, it can be used to destroy doors. Example is Vic and Dunton's locked door. Despite being an early Throwing weapon, this item is not that common, unlike Frag grenade (Fallout) or Throwing knife (Fallout).

Behind the scenes

It was named after Russian Premier Vyacheslav Molotov.
