How Flamethrower and Molotov Cocktail stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.
A back-mounted napalm sprayer with a continuous stream of flame — devastating against gang clusters but useless against vehicles. Required reading for several Yakuza and Cartel missions in Shoreside Vale.
A petrol-filled bottle that bursts into a pool of fire on impact — perfect for area denial and burning down parked Mafia cars. Stocked at Ammu-Nation early in the story and dropped during several Portland setups.
