Molotov-Spacesuit Glitch

Hey,

I found another glitch which might be interesting. Maybe it's already known.

Link:

This Glitch is probably consisting of doing an input while being shaken by an outside force. Since I didn't try this glitch with a health bar on, I don't know if I'm taking damage from the Molotov impact.

Trying to get shaken/damaged by the Molotov while trying to access the safepoint will just kill you though. So in addition to doing an input while being shaken/damaged, you have to be "outside" the gameplay. This also applys for the Alien stopping to chase you, even if it's close, when you access the spacesuit in Mission 18.

The same sort of glitch is possible accessing a spacesuit while burning by standing in flames for a sufficient amount of time (also M18). While in that glitch by getting burned you can enter the radial menu, in the Molotov-spacesuit glitch you can just use up the remaining Molotovs without being able to access the radial menu.

Greetings qd

Awesome. PowerManGast50730290 on YouTube has a clip of this glitch in M18 (), although I wasn't able to reproduce it.

FYI, this also works with EMPs, so you can test/practice without dying.

As I have just found out, you can do this trick with flares too. This means that it's not dependent on being shaken or damaged, but on not totally having finished a throwing movement.

I just tried it again with a noisemaker, et voila: it works. This means it works with every item you can throw. I managed to draw the pistol at the same time with using the lever, but nothing happened there. So it seems to be limited to items.
