Some might say that having Molotovs in a COD game is a must these days. And while that may be true, the latest Modern Warfare has issues with the infamous incendiary grenades. So let’s take an umbrella and answer the question: can you equip a Molotov in MW3?
How to equip a Molotov in MW3?
Molotov ___tails, first introduced in COD: World at War, these incendiary devices allow players to rain hellfire from a bottle onto their enemies. However, it seems that they are not working as expected in MW3. Because from now on you can only use Molotovs in MWZ and the campaign. This is quite strange considering that an Armory unlock is available for Molotov when viewing the multiplayer lobby screen.

Since Molotovs are visible on the Armory unlock screen in the multiplayer menu, players began to believe that they were actually usable in this mode. However, it seems that no matter what mode you play in, each unlock is visible under the armory, regardless of whether you can use it in the current mode you have selected. Bringing a lot of confusion and questions to the player base regarding the functionality of Deadly Gear between modes. But we can tell by diving deep into it blog post published by the development team, that Molotov ___tails are in fact not available in multiplayer. It’s unclear whether or not they will add them over time. For now, we’ll have to settle for lighting zombies on fire and imagining him as Timmy on the other team in multiplayer.
