"Did you ever had your hands on any of the weapons these guys are supposedly armed with? Suddenly it's not just rocks, and bottles, and Molotovs."
Combine Soldier[src]

The Molotov Cocktail is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the Half-Life 2 leak and Half-Life 2: Survivor.

Overview[edit]

As it name implies, it is a standard Molotov cocktail with identical effects. When thrown, it produces a large circle of fire which will remain for a while before dissipating, and could presumably be put out with the Fire Extinguisher, also cut.

Behind the scenes[edit]

  • It was originally to be used by Citizens against Combine forces in the Half-Life 2 test level Get Your Free TVs!.
  • It was originally part of the Brickbat props, thus its Headcrab appearance when spawned in the leak, as well as the Snark HUD icon from the original Half-Life.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Half-Life 2 leak, the fire sprites are so small that it is almost impossible to notice them.
  • The bottle model and its textures exist, but the texture is broken in both the viewmodel and worldmodel.
  • Hammer Editor shows that Citizens have two weapon choices named "Beer Bottle" and "Beer Bottle2", related to the Brickbat and the Molotov cocktail.
  • In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Molotov Cocktail is among them.
  • The Molotov cocktail is also present in the Story Mode of Half-Life 2: Survivor as an unfinished weapon and can only be obtained with cheats (impulse 101 or give weapon_molotov). It uses Pheropod's HUD icon and name and grenade's models. Unlike the leak Molotov, the fire is fully functional and deals small amount of damage once per second. The player can hold 6 Molotov cocktails at the same time. It is possible that the Molotov cocktail eventually evolved to the Fire Grenade available in the Battle Mode.
  • In both Half-Life 2 leak and the Half-Life 2: Survivor's Story Mode, a message "Drawing Molotov..." appears in console when each Molotov cocktail is drawn for the first time.
