While direct combat isn't always the best approach in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the game offers a robust stealth system allowing you to outsmart your foes. A key component of this system is rock throwing, a surprisingly effective tactic. This guide will show you exactly how to utilize this skill.
How to Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Remember, rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Initiate stealth mode by clicking the right stick (controllers) or pressing C (PC). Once in stealth, hold the following button to prepare your throw:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
With the button held, Henry will raise his hand, pebble in sight. A crosshair will appear, indicating your throw's trajectory. Release the button to hurl the rock.
Tips and Tricks for Rock Throwing
Here are some helpful hints to maximize your rock-throwing effectiveness:
- Unlimited Ammunition: You have an endless supply of pebbles, so don't worry about conserving ammo.
- Short Range: The noise radius is limited, so aim for close-range targets. Hitting objects like cups or plates creates a louder disturbance.
- Distraction: Successfully thrown rocks will draw enemies' attention, giving you an opportunity to act. However, hitting an enemy directly will instantly alert them.
- Bird Nests: Use rocks to knock down bird nests scattered throughout the game world. These often contain valuable items like eggs (a small food source) or even dice badges.
