Petrol Boomer

Petrol Boomer is a primary equipment in Counter-Strike Online.

Overview

Petrol Boomer is developed by a private sector. The compressed gas in the Petrol Bomb gives a big explosion when fired. Upon contact, massive damage is dealt to the area where the explosion occurs, and a damaging fire is left behind for a certain period of time.

Details: The gasoline bottle burns the place it lands, doing damage every tick for 5.5 seconds. Damage: 8 (Normal), 113 (Zombie), 188 (Scenario)

Trivia

• The ammunition used is Petrol Bomb, a British term for Molotov Cocktail (American).
• The Molotov Cocktail was planned to be implemented in Counter-Strike 1.6, but was scrapped before the release alongside some other weapons and items. It made its first appearance in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
• This is the third weapon that is equipped with an air meter after Gae Bolg and Aeolis.
  • The air meter shows the "Kill Ratio" of 40-60 Ks instead of gas pressure.
• The launcher model seems to be the combination of RPG-7 and M72 LAW.
• Even though the flame burns everything in its radius, it deals no damage to its user.
• The burning radius does not spread when hit ceilings or walls and fall down straight that no such current wind affects the flame.
• This is the first non-anti-zombie weapon that has Reservation Ticket.
• Some places such as ducts like in Assault, will not show any flame at all. However, the burning effect still occurs.
• The flame still burns in the water.
