You can no longer throw weapons

[Im A PuddinPop]

Why was this feature removed? Chucking weapons at enemies was one of my favorite things from the first game, it's super disappointing they removed it. It was also a fun way to mange your inventory

Yeah... I played DL1 on Xbox 360 and on PC (finished it on both platforms) and I can't recall ever throwing weapons. There wasn't really an incentive to do it in the first place, just a damage bonus I guess? And you had to pick it up from a zombies/floor afterwards as well, for me it was tedious mechanic.

I do remember throwing weapons in Dead Island 1 and Riptide though. I can't remember what was different in these games, but it worked to some extent.

I 100% agree, although I wish the feature was still available for getting rid of junk weapons like the OP said. Remember when Dead Rising removed the throwable items feature and everyone got upset?

It was a fun mechanic but utterly useless overall.

I think that throwing knives would be cool to have in game. There is a bow so some throwing axe and knives would be great addition and something different from the guns. You would make them in bulk like arrows. Imagine throwing knives that stay pinned in to a zombie with passive that at some distance from eachother starts to send electricity between the knives. You could throw them and than made chain lightning effect.

Correct me if I am wrong, because I haven't played "The Following" in quite a while, but didn't they add some sort of "tether" feature that allowed your thrown weapon to return to you automatically? I swear there was something like that. I remember having a blast throwing weapons.

If its fun its not utterly useless imo, chucking hammers at zombies heads never got old

The outfit from the Van Crane DLC would add a tether to a weapon so it came back when you threw it.

Throwing normal weapons was pointless and essentially never worth it, but throwing knives or darts or similar things meant to be thrown would always be nice.

I threw plenty of throwing weapons and molotovs in DL1. Quite effective. No way im throwing my personal melee weapon. No need.

[Some Kinda Kobold]

The throwing weapon mechanic was very underused which is likely why it was removed. Better to give people newer perks to play with. But we at least have other options for range.

Throwing was fun and op. I used it lots and had fun. I hope they add it later with a patch.

i had so much fun searching and trying to pick my weapons thrown while still surrounded by zombies and they removed it... i'm not sarcastic i really had fun.
but at the end i stopped throwing gold weapons because it was bugged, weapons diseappered often.
techland ....
