Walkthrough
- 1Trophies, garbage cans, and vases can all be picked up and thrown at enemies.
- 2The biggest advantage with using thrown objects is the ability to kill or execute weaker targets with only one hit.
- 3Their ability to do the same damage across all difficulties makes this especially useful while playing DiG (Duke's Inferno Difficulty).
- 4These items are more useful in the earlier stages of the original campaign (while Duke is in the Lady Killer), where you first learn the advantages of throwing objects at enemies.
- 5Berserk Pigcops easily fall prey to thrown objects, since they approach you in a straight line. The one thing to watch out for is when they suddenly leap at you.
- 6Thrown objects are effective against Assault Commanders, but they require a considerable amount of hits to take down.
Tips
- Thrown objects are useless against Octabrains, since they will catch them and throw them back at you.
