How to throw a weapon?

To throw a weapon, charge a strong attack, and then, while still holding the button, use the weapon throw button:

1. Mouse and keyboard - hold down the left mouse button, then press F.
2. Controllers - hold down R2/RT, then press R3.

What is the point of throwing a weapon?

Throwing your weapon sounds counterintuitive, however, this can have several uses. For example:

1. When you are low on health and want to finish off an opponent, throwing a weapon can be a great idea. Blunt weapons can stun and knock down an opponent, while slashing weapons can kill an enemy with a single throw.
2. When the weapon is worn out and you want to make a gas cylinder explode. Throwing a weapon at this object from a safe distance can kill a large number of enemies.
