Fallout Weapons Guide: Thrown Weapons
by Mazca

Grenade
A waste of space. The standard Fragmentation Grenade does little damage and is very inaccurate. Spend the money on a decent gun instead.

EMP Grenade
This is only useful in one specific place - The Glow. As it only effects machines, you can use it to do huge amounts of damage to those fairly dangerous security robots without doing any damage to yourself or your companions.

Plasma Grenade
This is very useful when you get attacked by Raiders, as they tend to bunch together. Lob this at the one in the middle and it's 30-70 damage attack could well kill them all in one shot.

Spear
It's a good improvement on the Knife at the beginning of the game as it can be used to stab or throw, but it soon becomes obsolete against better enemies.

Throwing Knife
A complete and total waste of time, money and space. They never seen to do more than 3 damage points and are fairly inaccurate anyway. Ignore.
