A Molotov, commonly referred to as a Molotov cocktail, was a custom-made, improvised incendiary explosive that required ethanol, and in one specific instance, a bottle of Davenport rye whiskey, which creates a field of fire upon contact with another surface by breaking open and causing the highly combustible alcohol contained within to spread naturally. It can either be thrown, causing it to immediately explode upon impact, or placed, erupting after a hostile approaches it.
History[]
In 2137, residents aboard Sevastopol Station created blueprints to craft Molotovs.
In 2179, Colonial Marine Private First Class A. Montgomery killed himself in a botched attempt at creating a Molotov cocktail.
Trivia[]
- The Molotov is one of the few weapons in Alien: Isolation (along with the flamethrower) that can force the Alien to retreat into the vents. A direct hit on the Xenomorph will cause it to head back into the vents temporarily, and the length of time it remains in the vent hinges on how frequently the player utilizes Molotovs.
