How to Use Molotov Cocktails

Against a lot of infected

Using Molotov Cocktails against multiple enemies in The Last of Us Part II

Since all infected are weak against fire, using Molotov Cocktails is effective. Lure multiple enemies together with empty bottles or bricks and then use the Molotov Cocktails to take them down.

Use on Strong Enemies

Molotov Cocktails are also effective against tough enemies like Shamblers and Bloaters because they continue to inflict damage as long as the enemies are on fire. Additionally, hitting enemies with Molotov Cocktails causes them to stagger for a while, allowing you to follow up with attacks or create distance.
