Molotov Cocktail



The Molotov Cocktail is a consumable ranged weapon with a relatively short throwing arc. Upon hitting a solid object or enemy, it will explode and release flaming embers. Contact with these projectiles deals damage and inflicts the On Fire! debuff. Its high damage and ability to inflict fire damage makes it a powerful early to mid pre-hardmode weapon. Unlike other explosives, this weapon will not damage the thrower.

Tips

 * This item is particularly effective at clearing Spider Caves and vines due to its many bouncing fireballs that can break large quantities of Cobweb and vine at once.
 * It is also quite effective for several boss fights:
 * Eater of Worlds
 * Brain of Cthulhu (defeating the Creepers)
 * Wall of Flesh (defeating The Hungry)

Trivia

 * s were originally anti-tank, gasoline-filled bottles the Finnish Army used against the Russians in the "Winter War" of 1939 named after Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, a Soviet politician who denied to be bombing Finland but claimed thet Soviets were airdropping food, as the Finnish said, these "cocktails" were drinks to go with the "food". The term is still used to refer to any small makeshift fire grenade made from a bottle of fuel or strong alcohol with a lit cloth in the neck.
