Craftable Molotov Cocktails - theGameReaper - 12-18-2023
So I’m sure we all know that we have NPCs scattered throughout the map where we can trade certain objects until we get a weapon (like the shiv or the Sig P226). We also have the NPC where we can trade a shipment of oil for gas cans. I figured I can bring up the suggestion that we can craft a Molotov cocktail using one of the gas canisters, a beer bottle, and possibly a rope (yes, the usual method is using a cloth but rope has also been utilized in the same fashion). It can be balanced by how expensive (or made more expensive at your discretion) by the sole fact that a cocktail can cost between $2,125 to $4250 for a bottle, and that’s before the recipe can be modified. I just figured logically it should be more accessible, instead of just being able to buy it from the black market, since it’s not a factory-made, imported firearm/explosive it’s a flammable explosive that can be made with household materials. BUT at the same time I can understand the need to balance it in terms of gaming and role playing experience… even though in my 7 month career in the PD I’ve been hit with a Lunge Mine 13 times (no I’m not exaggerating). I also understand that minges can try to abuse this, but what good thing in this server hasn’t been exploited before?

-1 no amount of cost would stop the top bosses from sinking millions into mollies and have their goons MRDM each other

Just today I had a guy swinging a bat at me, I put 7 rounds in his chest, and he takes me and another person out with one swing of a bat simply because he dumped stats into strength. And we will continue to have this problem as long as this server lives and is accessible to the public. But that shouldn’t stop us from trying to be creative and adding new things. If you choose to use a weapon that has an area-of-effect damage aspect, then you acknowledge the risks and consequences of using said weapon, just like using the lunge mine and rpg, or shooting a cop, or mugging someone, or even using a shotgun/rifle against one person in a crowd.
