Despite fire usually being a viable tactic, the zombie's lack of fear and pain receptors makes fire a lot less useful, as the only way a zombie can die is if their brains cook from the heat or all their flesh burns off, allowing them to claw down a survivor during their last moments.

―PlaceRebuilder

Summary

A Molotov is a great way to deter zombies or weaken them. It deals a hefty amount of damage over time and it's great at denying a Brute cover. The fire can apparently also go through walls. Just be careful that you don't set yourself on fire and remember that Elementals aren't affected.

Background Story

Although gasoline wasn't in high supply, there wasn't much use for it other than powering generators and cars, and those weren't too common. Since survivors needed to do something with gasoline, they decided to make some good ol' fashioned Molotov cocktails. Simple, easy to use, and very effective at turning those pesky zombies into piles of ashes.

Tips

  • The rapid spread of the fire tends to damage heavily or outright kill the user.
  • Its best use is to weaken zombie hordes.
  • This is able to heal Elementals, so be careful when throwing it, or nearby Elementals will become hard to kill.
  • Using this with a Pipebomb can help you get more money just in case a zombie tries to reset.
  • Use this to restrict the movement of, or weaken zombies at strategic points in maps such as doorways.
  • Using this in Vs. Environment is devastating, as the flames can kill AI Infecteds insanely fast. 
  • Unequipping this while preparing to throw it will allow you to put it back in your inventory.
  • You can throw a Molotov at Elementals with low health to heal them, preventing them from charging a Brute.
