Disable molotovs while downed and when dying

It seems to be another “ooga booga I’m a pro” tactic, like leaning while shooting every time. Some players are using molotovs in a way that’s not really possible in reality - they hold the grenade button while entering the building so that when they get killed the molotov gets dropped and starts burning, some players also drop molotovs when they’re downed so that the enemy that’s close to them will burn.

I think it should be disabled - a molotov should not activate both when you drop it while downed and when you get killed while throwing/cooking it. No bottle would break when dropped from 20-30 centimeters, and it’s very unlikely that it would break if held in the hand while the soldier is shot.

Even if it would break, it wouldn’t ignite

this is probably due to accident, ain’t gonna believe enlisted players found out so smart tactics

now i used to do that and from my experience i can tell you this is so satisfying when timed right, really hard to pull this off though. I wouldn’t consider it such a problem.

What about dropping impact nades

alot of grenade problems can be solved if the added a delay onto throwing them and make an animation of actually priming it

also the whole dropping grenade while downed is ridiculous, it would’ve made much more sense to draw your side firearm

I’ve seen it multiple times in different campaigns - someone walks into the building while holding the molotov in the throwing pose (as if they were cooking it) so that when someone kills them from a short distance they start burning as well.

Lol. I do both of those two things.

Very satisfying when you’re downed and drop a unpleasant surprise for the slow-rolling player who wants to stab you instead of shooting ya.

I don’t think it’s that big of a problem, but I can understand your point anyway.

I guess it’s kinda similar to mining enemy’s rally point - annoying unless you’re the one doing it:)

But it annoys me not because it’s OP or something, but on the same level as people who lean every time they aim or shoot - it’s just immersion-breaking and feels arcadey.

As for it getting shot and exploding thats fine. If they are wound up to throw, it means its already lit.

wow people like you literally complain about everything. Are you getting tilted, from enemy players tilting while shooting you?

What I meant is that the bottle wouldn’t break if just fell after getting shot. Getting the molotov to break actually requires some force, you have to throw it.
