« Optimists see the bottle as half-full. Pessimists, half-empty. But a rare few see an incendiary device capable of flambéing enemies faster than you can say crème brûlée. We call these fine folks, visionaries. The original Molotox cocktail was invented during the Spanish Civil War and named by the Finns after the Soviets invaded Finland. Frankly, ever since then the Finnish have been coasting by on that win. »

The Molotox is a throwable explosive in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

Essentially it's a futuristic version of the Molotov seen in Far Cry 3, and is used the same way.

The only Omega Force unit that uses the Molotox is the aptly named Molotox Striker.

Like its Far Cry 3 counterpart, the Molotox can set huge areas on fire and can kill countless Omega Force soldiers.

Trivia[]

  • Ironically enough, Blood Dragon is the only Far Cry game to feature modern Molotov-type devices. While very conducive to an expedient arsenal, most armies that still field Molotovs as an incendiary anti-materiel or area denial weapon have improved on the basic design since the Second World War. Employing such pyrotechnic solutions such as Fenian fire, stalk handles for more throwing leverage, pesticides or oils to create thick noxious fumes, stormproof friction-striking fuzes, or thickened fuel such as napalm to give the burning effect more persistence; any soldier of modern forces would undoubtedly have access to these kinds of advanced techniques, leading to the rather unlikely scenario of both the Pirates and the Royal Army unable or untrained enough to employ the more updated and effective form in combat.
