How To Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

by Noah Mar 22,2025

While direct combat isn't always the answer in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the game offers a robust stealth system allowing you to outsmart your foes. A key component of this system is the ability to throw rocks, providing a crucial distraction or even a means of initiating an encounter on your terms. Here's how to master this sneaky skill.

How to Throw Rocks in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*

Remember, rock-throwing is exclusively a stealth action. Initiate stealth mode by clicking the right stick (controllers) or pressing C (PC). Once in stealth, hold the designated button to prepare your throw:

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

Henry will hold a pebble; a crosshair appears, indicating your throw's trajectory. Release the button to launch the rock.

Tips and Tricks for Throwing Rocks

One significant advantage: your supply of rocks is virtually limitless. You won't need to hunt for more after each throw. However, keep in mind that these are small pebbles, resulting in a limited noise radius. Aim for close targets for maximum stealth. Hitting objects like cups or plates will create a louder sound, potentially alerting nearby enemies. A successful throw will usually cause enemies to investigate, giving you the opportunity for a stealth takedown or a strategic retreat. Be cautious though; a direct hit on an enemy instantly breaks stealth.

Beyond distracting guards, rocks can also be used to knock down bird nests scattered throughout the game world. These nests often contain valuable items, such as eggs (providing a small nutritional boost) or even rare dice badges.
