Afraid Monkeys Molotov Guide
The molotov costs twenty-five credits and creates a fire zone that stalls infected monkeys while setting the ground ablaze. It is the middle tier defensive purchase — stronger area control than grenades, cheaper than stocking multiple radars for squad play.
Molotov Mechanics
Deploy a molotov on the ground near pursuing enemies or ahead of chokepoints. Fire spreads across the floor surface, forcing infected monkeys to path around or pause briefly. The burn duration exceeds grenade stun, making molotovs ideal for coordinated keycard grabs.
Fire also visually blocks dark corridors — useful psychological pressure in horror zones where visibility already limits reaction time.
Tactical Applications
In Level 2 parking garage, throw molotov across the open floor gap while a teammate retrieves the storage keycard by the pipes. Slender may path around fire slower than sprinting players.
On Level 1, molotov the Chainsaw Hands approach corridor while scanning the Level 2 door — only when Radar confirms patrol timing and an escape doorway sits within three seconds sprint.
Credit Investment
Twenty-five credits equals roughly four pipes or three gears plus misc scrap. Budget one molotov per serious keycard attempt. Farm debris piles documented in Level 2 walkthrough for efficient restocking.
Always buy Radar first unless playing support role for a radar-equipped teammate.
Team Coordination
Molotovs shine in multiplayer servers common to Afraid Monkeys. Designate one player as fire support while others grab scrap or keycards. Communicate throw timing to avoid trapping allies inside burn zones.
Combine with survival guide positioning principles — never burn your only retreat path.
