In Trepang2, players navigate various maps, facing countless enemies. To effectively take down larger groups, it's essential to have a reliable throwable weapon alongside their guns. Trepang Studios has designed the game with a fast-paced style, reminiscent of titles like Ghostrunner and Doom Eternal. However, the inclusion of throwable weapons introduces strategic elements to gunfights, adding variety to the gameplay. It is worth noting that some throwable items are more valuable than others, and players should prioritize unlocking them for easier handling of larger groups.
Keep in mind that
7 Breaching Charges
these tools should not be solely relied upon as they may still take a few seconds to be deployed, which can be detrimental in the fast-paced world of Trepang2. Therefore, the optimal strategy for ensuring maximum survivability is to utilize firearms and complement them by using these throwable weapons to impede the progress of enemy waves.
How to unlock
After completing the mission "The Pandora Institute," players will obtain breaching charges, which function as a "throwable" in the game. Although they differ from other weapons in this category, they still serve a purpose. These charges can be used to unlock specific doors that impede the player's progress in the campaign or contain valuable items such as special weapons and additional grenades.
Overall, the breaching charges may not be particularly effective during intense combat situations, but they should still be retained in case the player lacks any other throwable item at the moment.

To successfully complete the Oil Rig side mission on Normal difficulty, make effective use of the proximity mines. These mines prove especially valuable in tight and confined maps such as Office Lanes, where players can swiftly deploy them on the ground to protect their flank, preventing unexpected enemy approaches. With their remarkably quick throwing animation and the option to acquire a pack of five for just $1000 in the Combat Simulation maps, proximity mines are always a smart choice to consider.
With that being said, however, the blast radius of these explosives is relatively limited, and they can be easily triggered by adversaries who are not in close proximity. Therefore, it would be preferable to save them for smaller maps where opponents tend to gather in specific strategic locations.
5 Flashbangs
How to unlock
To make clearing a path easier, consider using flashbangs in Site 14 on any difficulty level. These throwable items are particularly effective on smaller combat simulator maps because they only impact enemies who are very close in proximity. However, if you are able to catch multiple enemies off-guard simultaneously, the use of flashbangs can greatly facilitate your progress.
4 Tomahawks
The throwables available at a mere $400 are the most affordable options for players. Rather than keeping them throughout the entire match, they can be better utilized during critical moments when the situation turns dangerous and the player is in desperate need of assistance. It is even possible to eliminate enemies with the impact of a flashbang, although it requires skill. This approach proves to be an effective way of defeating opponents without the need to wait for a reload.

Experienced players of the modern Call of Duty games are well aware of the lethal nature of tomahawks or throwing knives, often resulting in immediate fatality upon hitting an enemy. However, executing such moves in the fast-paced and chaotic gunfights of Trepang2 can prove to be more challenging.
Still, this is undeniably a formidable weapon that efficiently neutralizes enemies without the need to discharge ammunition. However, mastering its usage requires extensive practice, especially when considering factors such as distance and drop-off range. Notably, the tomahawk in this game possesses a noticeable weightiness compared to other first-person shooter games, resulting in a slightly delayed throwing motion. Nevertheless, once it is airborne, it consistently produces splashes of blood against the walls.
3 Frag Grenades

Among the various throwables in Trepang2, frag grenades stand out as the most versatile and dependable weapon in the game.

Additionally, their swift throwing speed allows for consecutive tosses, making them an excellent choice against defensive adversaries.

To achieve an authentic and engaging experience, Trepang2 predominantly features weapons and gadgets utilized by real-life special forces units. However, players can still come across a few unconventional and eccentric objects throughout the game, and the rat bombs stand out as one of the most peculiar items available.
As the name implies, this throwble is a rat with a grenade attached to it. Once thrown onto the field, the rat scurries around while the explosive beeps, eventually detonating after a few seconds. Rat bombs are priced at $1500, slightly more expensive than other throwables, due to their unpredictable nature. They require minimal effort from the player, as there is no need to aim the grenade. Simply place the bomb down and witness the little companion handle the rest.
1 Firebombs

Firebombs are the sole throwable in the game that creates a damaging area of effect for enemies who traverse it. This attribute alone makes it highly advantageous. Not only does it effectively control narrow passages on compact maps such as Café and Supply Depot, but it also swiftly eliminates large enemy formations within seconds.
Furthermore, precision is not a significant concern when using the firebomb. Whether it directly hits an adversary or simply lands in close proximity to their feet, the resulting flames will engulf the entire vicinity in a matter of seconds. This makes it a crucial asset for individuals who are swiftly progressing through the campaign or attempting to conquer the Combat Simulations on the Extreme difficulty level. Additionally, in the Combat Simulation maps, these firebombs are priced at only $1000, thereby making it highly recommended to acquire several of them whenever possible. Trepang2 is presently accessible on PC.
