While direct combat isn't always the answer in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the game offers a robust stealth system perfect for those who prefer a more subtle approach. A key element of this system is the ability to throw rocks, a surprisingly effective tool for distraction and reconnaissance. Here's how to master this skill.
How to Throw Rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*
Remember, rock throwing is exclusively a stealth mechanic. Activate stealth mode by clicking the right stick (controllers) or pressing 'C' (PC). Once in stealth, hold the following button to initiate a throw:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
Upon holding the button, Henry will raise his hand, pebble in tow. A crosshair will appear, guiding your throw. Release the button to launch your projectile.
Tips and Tricks for Effective Rock Throwing
One significant advantage: your supply of rocks is effectively limitless. You won't need to worry about running out of ammunition. However, keep in mind that Henry throws small pebbles, limiting the throw's range and noise radius. Aim for targets relatively close to you. Keep in mind that hitting objects like cups or plates will create a much louder noise than a soft landing.
Successfully thrown rocks will draw enemy attention, allowing you to observe their reactions or even engage in a stealth takedown. Be cautious though; a direct hit on an enemy will immediately alert them, negating the stealth advantage.
Beyond distracting guards, rocks can be used to knock down bird nests. These nests, scattered throughout the game world, often contain valuable items like eggs (providing a small nutritional boost) or even rare dice badges.
That's all you need to know about mastering the art of rock throwing in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more helpful guides and tips on your adventures, be sure to check out The Escapist for additional resources, such as guides on acquiring the best horse or safely selling stolen goods.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
