Learn how to effectively use Rocks, Grenades, Molotov Cocktails, Pipe Bombs, and Land Mines in Far Cry. Get tips on tactical placement and enemy distraction.

Hey there! Let's talk about the fun stuff you can toss at the bad guys in Far Cry. Thrown weapons can be super useful for distracting enemies, clearing out groups, or just causing a little chaos. We've got Rocks, Grenades, Molotov Cocktails, Pipe Bombs, and Land Mines to play with.

Here's the lowdown on each:

• Rock — These are pretty basic, but still handy. In this version of Far Cry, they're mainly useful for distracting enemies. You can't use them with Branch Traps anymore, but you can still use them to lure enemies toward a land mine. Just place your mine, hide, and then toss a rock nearby to get their attention. They're infinite, so no worries about running out!
• Grenade — Your standard explosive. These will bounce a bit when thrown, which helps them travel a bit further. Keep an eye out for weapons later that can fire grenades, making them explode on impact! You can carry up to 5 at a time.
• Molotov Cocktail — This one's great for area denial. When you throw it, it shatters and the ground bursts into flames. Anyone unfortunate enough to step in the fire will catch alight and eventually burn to death. You can carry up to 5.
• Pipe Bomb — These are like grenades, but with a twist: you can detonate them whenever you want by pressing the B button after throwing. You can even trigger them while they're rolling or still in the air! If you need to disarm one, just press the C button. They roll on the ground, which can help them get a bit of extra distance. Max ammo is 5.
• Land Mine — These are deadly traps. You can place them in an enemy's path, and they'll instantly kill anyone who steps on them. The best way to use them is to combine them with a rock. Place the mine, then throw a rock to lure an enemy right over it. You can carry up to 5.

Pro Tip: Remember that Pipe Bombs and Land Mines are your best bet for setting traps, while Grenades and Molotovs are better for direct engagement or flushing enemies out of cover. Rocks are your go-to for luring enemies without causing a big explosion.
