Mastering Stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: The Art of Rock Throwing
While direct combat has its appeal, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's stealth mechanics offer a compelling alternative. A key element of this stealth gameplay is the ability to distract enemies by throwing rocks. Here's how:
Rock Throwing Mechanics
Remember, rock throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Initiate stealth mode by clicking the right stick (controllers) or pressing C (PC). Then, hold the designated button to prepare your throw:
- PlayStation: R1
- Xbox: RB
- PC: G
A crosshair will appear, indicating the rock's trajectory. Release the button to throw.
Tips for Effective Rock Throwing
- Unlimited Ammo: Don't worry about running out of rocks; your supply is inexhaustible.
- Noise Radius: The sound of a thrown pebble has a limited range. Ensure your target is within close proximity. Hitting objects like dishes will create a louder, more noticeable sound.
- Distraction and Opportunity: Successful rock throws will cause enemies to investigate, providing a window for stealth attacks or a strategic retreat. However, a direct hit on an enemy will instantly alert them.
- Bird Nests: Utilize rock throwing to knock down bird nests scattered throughout the game world. These nests often contain valuable items like eggs (providing minor nourishment) or even dice badges.
