Put explosion resistant padding in your chest armor ASAP.

A few options:

When the Molotov is thrown, hit VATS and shoot the Molotov in VATS with a VATS-optimised weapon.

Watch out for the red grenade icon and sprint out of there - more or less any direction is better than standing still.

Get high ballistic damage resistance. Molotovs count as ballistic damage, stupidly.

If all else fails as the Molotov is about to hit you go into Pipboy and take Buffout, Med-X and Psycho and any chems that give instant HP or instant END.

But mainly, on Survival, you need kill them before they get a chance to fight back.

i would prefer i mod change to a dots only maybe???

[=EGC= kansasterry]

basically the molotov explodes hurling glass (ballistic damage) and burning liquid (fire damage). The best thing to do would be to pay attention to the sounds and area around you so you can avoid or take out the attacker before they get a chance to throw one. best to use sneak a lot in survival.

Other than this you can try what other have mentioned to make it less likely for you to take damage.

If you can find the right legendary effect on an armor part that reduces damage from humans that would help as well.

Arbitration - Molotov burn module. Does exactly what it says, and removes the explosive effect.
