Whilst playing and seeing ellie throw a bottle on someones head is deeply satisfying

I always use both, they are my first line of action in any encounter =D

I always used bricks because I was under the false impression that they were sometimes re-usable.

Interesting to see the theories over using bottles for distraction, I guess I will try that out next time

Bricks for damage, bottles for distraction. But bricks overall.

And what's this about retrieving arrows? I've killed a few enemies with the bow and tried to pick up the arrows, yet no prompt appears...

Sometimes you can pick up arrows from dead bodies, it wasn't clear to me, but I think if you get a headshot then you have a better chance of being able retreive the dead bodies. I was able to pick up nearly 50%

Bricks yiu can beat people to death with them.

@Munkeh

I retrieved most of the arrows that were a "one shot kill".
But I think the 50% chance is about right......at least in normal difficulty coze I noticed that
I retrieve less arrows now in hard mode.

woahhh Andres.. your Profile photo is close to mine..

we agree. Bottle ;)

Is this a real debate? I would say fuck you to the bottle every time I replaced it with a brick.

brick for an infected
and bottle for a person. :P
