While direct combat isn't always the most appealing option in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the game offers a robust stealth system that lets you outsmart your foes. A key component of this system is the ability to throw rocks, a surprisingly effective tool for distraction and reconnaissance. Here's how to master this deceptively simple skill.
How to Throw Rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*
Remember, rock-throwing is a stealth-only maneuver. Initiate stealth mode by clicking the right stick on a controller or pressing C on PC. Once in stealth, hold the following button to prepare your throw:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
As you hold the button, Henry will raise his hand, pebble in tow. A crosshair will appear, guiding your aim. Release the button to launch your projectile.
Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks
One major advantage: your supply of rocks is unlimited! You can throw as many pebbles as needed without worrying about replenishing your supply. However, keep in mind that these are small pebbles, so their noise radius is limited. Aim for targets close by for maximum effectiveness. Hitting objects like cups or plates will create a louder, more noticeable sound.
A successful rock throw will usually cause nearby enemies to investigate the disturbance, giving you an opportunity to either neutralize them stealthily or slip away unnoticed. Be cautious though; a direct hit on an enemy will immediately alert them to your presence.
Beyond distracting enemies, rocks can also be used to knock down bird nests. These nests, scattered throughout the game world, often contain valuable items like eggs (a small food source) or even rare dice badges.
