Overview[1]
$35; Castle; General Store; Outlaw Camps; Crafting; 6 Linen; 3 Linen; 1 Metal The Molotov is a utility Weapon in Dead Rails.
The Molotov is a throwable, single-use Weapon that explodes on impact, leaving a pool of Fire on the ground. Any Enemies that walk into the flames will take damage, with the fires lasting for 15 seconds. A single Molotov can be used to clear out large crowds, allowing for a single player to loot high-population areas like Towns and Fort Constitution with ease. The Molotov is occasionally sold at the General Store for $35. It can also be found in Abandoned Buildings, Towns, Outlaw Camps, and the Castle. Additionally, the Arsonist class spawns in with 4 Molotovs. Strong AOE damage. Excellent crowd controller. Can be purchased in Fortified Towns. Fairly expensive, same price as Snake Oil. Hard to find outside of Fortified Towns. Not guaranteed to be sold at Fortified Towns. When throwing Molotov it will drop fire (liquid) when player touches it the player will automatically take damage from the fire, the fire will last long depending on how much the player is covered on fire (except those who use Arsonist class because this class are immune to fire)

Strategies
You can trap Enemies against walls then use the Molotov, which can deal damage to them without the risk of you taking damage. Throw the Molotov directly into crowds of Enemies, as the flames do not last long, have a small area of effect and deal significantly less damage if Enemies step into a puddle of fire compared to if you directly hit them After throwing your first Molotov while holding a Molotov out it will be on fire probably due to a bug
Trivia
Entities killed by a Molotov will be burnt and turn completely black. However, if not fully killed, they will gain darker skin color. Tamed Horses are unable to die to a Molotov. The Molotov is based off the Molotov cocktail, an improvised incendiary weapon that gained notoriety during the Winter War. The name "Molotov cocktail" was created as a reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who produced propaganda during the Winter War claiming that the Soviets' incendiary bombing missions over Finland were actually humanitarian food deliveries. As a result, the Finns sarcastically nicknamed their hand-held firebombs after him, calling them "a drink to go with his food parcels." The first actual Molotovs were used during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, over 3 years before the Finns started using them. The Molotov also exists in RiccoMiller's other game, Crab Lab.
