Molotov

Summary
The Molotov is a type of grenade used by the Survivors in ZAPT:R. It has the appearance of a green alcohol bottle with a rag plugging up its spout. When tossed, the Molotov will explode into flames upon impact, burning any zombie that was targeted. The flames will deal 6 damage per second and will change the zombie's appearance to have all of their avatar parts black, giving the appearance of them being burnt. Molotovs can either be found in a Grenade Vending Machine or dropped Fallen Survivor loot.

Background Story
The Molotov is a bottle-based improvised incendiary weapon. It was used by various Russian street criminals, rioters, criminal gangs, urban guerrillas, terrorists, irregular soldiers, or even regular soldiers before the infection hit. It was used primarily as a terror-based weapon, designed to destroy structures during particularly harsh events, such as riots or hostile invasions. When the infection came, however, this weapon quickly had its image changed from a hate-filled grenade to a very useful item among many Survivors. The Molotov could easily burn down a zombie within a couple of seconds, and is the only grenade that's capable of somewhat inflicting pain among the infected.

Tips

 * Use this grenade to clear out hordes of zombies.
 * This weapon can also be used to slowly decrease a Tank's health overtime, making killing it easier.
 * Use this to deter player zombies from certain areas so you can escape.
 * Zombies that are caught in the flames will begin running around, panicking, and will completely ignore their previous target.
 * If a burned zombie goes into water, it will stop burning and will begin chasing after the player again. It's best to not use this grenade around any body of water.
 * If you are playing as a zombie and are being burned by a Molotov flame, your vision will be heavily obstructed in red flashes. It's best to stay away from these types of grenades or their created fires.

Trivia

 * For a while, it was not recommended to use this grenade when being surrounded by zombies since the flames could also burn the player. However, this was then revealed to be false (self-damage is always off in ZAPT:R minigames).
 * The Molotov is one of the four grenades found within ZAPT:R, the others being the Epoxy Bomb, Pipe Bomb, and High Explosive Grenade.
 * It also is one of the six throwable items within the game, the others being the Pipe Bomb, Epoxy Bomb, High Explosive Grenade, Airstrike Beacon, and Artillery Beacon.
 * The Frag Grenade used to be one of the grenades present in the game, but was ultimately scrapped and replaced by the High Explosive Grenade.
 * Originally, the Molotov, along with the Pipe Bomb, Medpack, and Pill Bottle could be found within the saferoom and were not in Vending Machines or the Weapon Shop.
