Safe

The Molotov Cocktail is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta.

Overview
As it name implies, it is a standard Molotov cocktail with identical effects.

Behind the scenes

 * It was originally used in the Half-Life 2 test level Get Your Free TVs!, then was cut, being too similar to the grenade.
 * It was originally part of the Brickbat props, thus its Headcrab appearance when spawned in the playable Beta.

Trivia

 * In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Molotov Cocktail is among them.
 * The Molotov Cocktail idea was reused for Left 4 Dead as an optional secondary weapon for the Survivors to ignite zombies from long range. The model was remade from scratch.
