How can I throw more accurately?
Posted On: April 4, 2024

Between Grenades and Strategems I really need to up my throwing game. Are there any tips for being more accurate with throwing?


I have seen an armour, I am yet to unlock (I am lv17) , which adds 30% to throw distance, but I am not sure what the default throw distance is.


Folks in Quickplay I have played with mentioned it being 50 meters, but I still seem to be short on throws.


Question from user Neon1024 at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

I found a YouTube short from Gamespot, which has some tips for this.


Use the map marker ping to judge distance which will tell you how far away something is.


Q on PC.


R1 on PS.


The video says a standard throw is 42 meters and enhanced throw is 60 meters.


Reddit suggests regular is 44m and boosted is 66m.


Reddit suggests you can dive and throw to achieve ~90m.


Also some physics on throwing from our friends over at the Physics Stackexchange who say 45 degrees will get the most distance.
