Reader's Guide
In Max Payne 2, the Molotov Cocktail is a hand-thrown weapon that functions as a secondary armament, alongside grenades. To use it, the player must equip it as a secondary weapon, then throw it at enemies or areas to create fire. The Molotov Cocktail can be combined with bullet-time, which slows time and allows for more accurate throws. When using bullet-time, the screen changes to a sepia tone, and the bullet-time meter depletes, but the shoot-dodge maneuver can be used without draining the meter. The weapon is limited in availability, found as pickups throughout the game.
