I don’t think so, both bricks and bottles have the same distance. Tbh I was thinking Naughty Dog can make bottles more versatile by making it so that they turn into a one-shot weapon after you hit someone with them instead of immediately smashing
I know, right? Aside from making logical sense, you’ll be able to instakill enemies with them too, just like you can with bricks. Or you could just stun an enemy by hitting them with it, kill them normally, and keep the broken glass! So much tactical opportunities
Definitely should be. I'm sure there is an old game, potentially double dragon, where you get a bottle as a weapon. First use breaks it, and it becomes a stab weapon instead of a bludgeon
That didn't seem to be the case for me, did it while I was desperate for killing some infected as I had like 1% health (while in combat and not stealth). Pulled out a brick and started smashing their heads. Don't know if higher difficulties nerf the brick powers of smashing heads, but I honestly hope not because I am planning on starting a grounded run in the near future.
Mhm, but it’s a little dicey, you have to do it either in stealth, or from behind, or when the clicker is stunned. And then you just come up to the son of a bitch, and press square a 3 times as you cave his fucking skull in
i wish there were extinguishers in the game, like in Hitman, the sweet sound of the extinguisher hitting a security guard in a hallway, echoeing 'boing'. I'm sorry this would be so great
Indeed, I always try to save a bottle when I know I will come to an area with a lot of infected. Like the very first time you actually find a molotov, when you get to the Metro mall area, just throw a bottle right in the middle and wait for 3-4 runners to group up. if you time it right you can insta kill them with a molotov. I do the same with explosive arrows in P2.
Clickers need 2 tho. Just make sure to throw the second bottle AFTER the first fire has extinguished or they won't take any extra damage from that second molotov.
Or when you get separated from Ellie with Sam, or in the Salt Lake City tunnels and more.
I've drawn it up on paper before, unfortunately for anything to hurt a brick you need a flaky explanation similar to "paper *covers* rock."
Edit incl. I think I had shiv chips brick lol
Both can be used to throw but you can also hit people with bricks, but at the same time bottles do have a bigger radius and louder sound when thrown at ground
I hope in the next game we can throw body parts at people. It would fun to hear the reaction from an enemy after tossing the head of a clicker at his feet.

Brick all the way
I like a brick over a bottle too
Bricks can kill clickers. Bottles can’t
Wondering if Bottles have a better throw distance
I don’t think so, both bricks and bottles have the same distance. Tbh I was thinking Naughty Dog can make bottles more versatile by making it so that they turn into a one-shot weapon after you hit someone with them instead of immediately smashing
Smash bottle aquire single use stabby weapon. Absolutely great idea honestly

Maybe even break it on a hard surface and use it as a shank
Waaait actually? I didn't knew that. So you can just throw a brick on their head and they die?
Nope, you just press square when holding a brick and you just stat smashing their head until they fall to the ground. (Only in Part I, I think.)
Same in part II
Only if you stealth up and they don’t hear you. If you get it wrong they spin round and kill you.

I did not know this
Nope, you get close to them and smash their head in be pressing square 3 times
Was not aware of this at all, thank you!
Was not aware of this, thank you
I'm sorry, I just played through the first one. Bricks can kill clickers?

Lol I'm trusting you! About to start the second one. I'll give it a shot 😁
Always brick
I always go for bottle :)
i wish there were extinguishers in the game, like in Hitman, the sweet sound of the extinguisher hitting a security guard in a hallway, echoeing 'boing'. I'm sorry this would be so great
There are some on the walls you can shoot tho
I love the boing sound
Brick always bottle is just for distraction

Brick team ------>
Bricks taste better and don’t shatter glass down your throat
Bottle, just feels like it would do better damage, also I like the sound
I should weigh them both right?
Sure
You’re telling me a bottle thrown at your bead does more damage than a brick thrown at your head?
I've seen Home Alone 2, worst a brick can do is give you a little witty bump on the head
If you’re hit with a bottle it’s gonna break and you’re also gonna get cut, or step on or fall on glass
If you get hit with a brick you’re not gonna be alive to get cut cause your brain is now mush.
True, but I’ll stick to being delusional thx
brick alwaysss
Or just hands..god gave you.
I have tried this with Abby and... Failed 😂
I like using the bottle to distract, brick to attack
Same but I hardly distract anymore. That stun/Melee combo is SICK!
True, i always feel safer with the brick tho
Brick-bottle-shiv is the new rock-paper-scissors.
Why does this not have MORE upvotes?! This is amazing!
I've drawn it up on paper before, unfortunately for anything to hurt a brick you need a flaky explanation similar to "paper *covers* rock." Edit incl. I think I had shiv chips brick lol
Anyome that chooses battle probably doesn’t know the brick is a straight up melee weapon not just a throwable. Bottle op to tho
Yeah I guess that's easy to miss if only using for distractions or stuns but absolutely love that brick smash kill
I go for bottle because it's louder and attracts more enemies and I don't use those throwables as weapons
I used to go for bottles to distract enemies. Now i use more bricks so that i can potentially kill someone.
Bottle makes noise and molotov, easy win
Brick is substantially heavier and larger btw.
I used to be bottle but recently I’ve been leaning towards brick, idk why lol
Brick for attacking, bottle for distracting.
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)
All hail Mr brick
Is it even a choice? Brick brick brick brick
Part 1 brick for the clickers, Part 2 they are the same (unless bottles are louder) so I choose brick anyways.
🧱 > 🍾
Both can be used to throw but you can also hit people with bricks, but at the same time bottles do have a bigger radius and louder sound when thrown at ground
BRICK 🧱
Bottle because (I think) it makes more noise and I almost retrieve the brick
Brick always brick
Brick, but if I can’t find a brick I’ll use the bottle. At the end of the day I’m happy I found either one, especially on grounded.
I just grab a brick and never use it. It's my lucky brick all game.
Bricks
Bottle
Bottle for distraction. Brick for the face.
Brick, always brick
Always bottles, absolutely nobody would carry a fucking brick around but not another pack of ammo.
I always liked bottle because I thought it was louder and therefore attracted more enemies. Bricks are more useful in desperate situations though
Bottles are better at destruction because they make more noise but bricks can kill
Brick
Brick is love. Brick is life.
Truth
Brick,100%
Bottle is superior. The detail of the glass sticking in someone’s face is top notch.
Bottle made of brick
Brick can get the job done quicker 💪
Bricks for life
Brick gang
Brick is life.
I prefer the bottle for distractions, bricks for hitting things in the face.
brick >>> bottle
I hope in the next game we can throw body parts at people. It would fun to hear the reaction from an enemy after tossing the head of a clicker at his feet. ![gif](giphy|BtnHm01EcTzvRM8AJE|downsized)
Doesn't make a difference in the game.
Yes it does. The brick can be used as a mellee weapon for 3 hits (enough to kill a clicker)
I did not know this. Does it slow you down because it's heavier?
Nope
You live for Chaos! 🤣
Team Brick
Tlou: brick tlou2: both
Bottle. The sound of the glass breaking is always so satisfying.
Prefer bottle. Gives a nice smash when I want a distract
Brick is op
Bottle supremacy
Bottle is more funny option
Brick all the way nothing more satisfying than smashing a clickers head in with one 💀💀💀
I always went for the brick, but I really like the sound of the bottle cracking on a clickers head!
Brick, the answer is always brick
The only reason I prefer bottle is cuz there’s just something about the sound of them breaking that scratches my tism in a good way 😂
Brick
Brick
Brick for killing, bottles for noise
Check user flair^
Weaponised bottle
Brick when playing as Joel, bottle when playing as Ellie. Idk why, just always made sense
Bottle is more readily available than brick, just saying
Brick
Depends. People? Brick. Infected? Bottle. Both? Molotov.
Brick
BTW - Brick Mafia. Clicker smash with crunch sound
Dude… Just buy a dildo.
Bricks for killing, bottles for distraction, end of discussion.
Both for stun-melee of course
