How to Use Bottles

How to Use - Bottles.jpg
Bottles are generally used for distracting or misdirecting infected and human enemies. They can be thrown on the ground to create noise or break glass windows to open up new routes. This can cause enemies to group up on that area where you can easily sneak by them or kill them all at once using the tools you crafted. However, if you are playing more aggressively, you can also throw them directly to the enemy's head and stun them for a few seconds. Stunning them with a bottle will make them vulnerable to your grab and strike attacks.

Keep in mind that they can work on hidden traps too! You can throw them on the tripwire or the claymore itself to trigger the traps without taking damage.

How to Get Bottles

Pick up from the ground!

Bottles can sometimes be found lying around on the ground, so pick it up if you see one. Only one item of this type can be held at a time, so be sure and use them, or the other ones you see will go to waste!
