Delayed Molotov — Bloodborne

Stats and requirements

Usage · effects and conditions (wiki)

Delayed Molotovs have the same damage scaling as normal Molotovs, inflict the same amount of damage when they hit, and deal fire damage. This means they also work well with arcane builds, but that is where their similarities end. When throwing a Delayed Molotov you will perform an underarm toss and the device will land a short distance in front of your character; you cannot increase this range regardless of how you angle your camera. Also unlike normal Molotovs, these do not explode on contact. Instead, once it makes contact with a surface a short two-second fuse is triggered, and only when that has expired will the device explode. The fact that you always know exactly where they will go and don't have to worry about lining up a throw can work in your favor, however. If you're locked onto an enemy and backing away from it, you can throw a Delayed Molotov so that the enemy walks into it and not have to worry about a normal Molotov getting thrown over them as the close in. It's worth remembering, however, that while these devices will stick to any normal surface, they will not stick to enemies. Their ability to stick to any surface does make them ideal for setting traps. Any time you know another player or enemy is about to round a corner or come through a doorway, you can attach one of these devices nearby to give them a nasty surprise.
