Mastering Stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: The Art of Rock Throwing

While direct combat has its thrills, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's stealth mechanics offer a compelling alternative. A key element of successful stealth is the ability to distract enemies by throwing rocks. Here's how to utilize this skill effectively.

Remember: Rock throwing is exclusively available while in stealth mode. Activate stealth by pressing the right stick on a controller or the 'C' key on PC. Once in stealth, initiate a rock throw using the following controls:

  • PlayStation: Hold R1
  • Xbox: Hold RB
  • PC: Hold G

Upon holding the designated button, a crosshair will appear, allowing you to target your throw. Release the button to launch the pebble.

Strategic Rock Throwing Tips:

  • Unlimited Ammunition: You have an endless supply of rocks, so don't hesitate to use them liberally.
  • Noise Radius: The sound of a thrown rock has a limited range. Ensure your target is within close proximity for optimal distraction. Keep in mind that hitting objects like tableware will create a louder, more noticeable sound.
  • Distraction and Opportunity: A well-placed rock will draw enemies' attention, providing you with an opening to either eliminate them stealthily or slip past unnoticed. However, directly hitting an enemy will immediately alert them.
  • Bird Nests: Explore the game world to locate bird nests. These nests often contain valuable items such as eggs (a small food source) or even rare dice badges.
