If your like me, the fire bomb added in Honest hearts was always a massive let down, not at all working as one would expect ie:
Exploding on impact

Instead, it will nonsensically bounce around like a Ping-Pong ball on meth, before randomly deciding to blow up on its own after a few seconds. What in the goddamn.....?

If you too find this the pinnacle of Obsidian Entertainment, then this mod is for you.



What is this mod?


This mod changes Fire Bombs to explode on contact with enemies or the ground/collision objects.

The mod does this by changing firebombs to use the vanilla game "detonates on impact" flags, as the longstanding bugs with the flag has been fixed thanks to lStewie.

(In vanilla, this flag was bugged and if you tried to apply it to certain weapons and then reverse pickpocket said weapons onto a npc, they would become stuck in the "exploding pants" animation indefinitely and never actually explode.)


The mod also changes the firebomb to use the nuka cocktail impact effect (which imo looks much more like a molotov should), instead of the wimpy looking incinerator impact effect.
The benefit of this is now when you throw a firebomb, you get a satisfying explosion of flame all around the point of impact.


Additionally the mod also affects the Nuka Cocktail and Molotov Cocktail added by TTW. (if you use the TTW version)


Lastly, the mod also adds a crafting recipe to the workbench, allowing you to make fire bombs for yourself, instead of relying on just finding them on traders/enemies.

Requires 1 empty Sunset Sarsaparilla Bottle, 5 Flamer Fuel, and 1 piece of Cloth.

Cloth can be obtained by killing a coyote or dog and then taking the hide to a campfire.



Known issues:

Breaks vats for firebombs (and molotovs/nuke-cocktails if you use the ttw version), not sure why.
You will just toss the firebomb way over the targets head. (only with version 1.1 and older.)
