On PC, hold the left mouse button to charge an attack, then press F to throw your equipped weapon. Two guides agree on that sequence. Controller guidance is less consistent: Gamer Guides lists RT + X on Xbox and R2 + Square on PlayStation, but another guide gives different controller inputs.
Throw a weapon on PC
- Equip the weapon you want to throw.
- Hold the left mouse button to charge the attack.
- While holding it, press F to throw the weapon, according to Gamer Guides and All Things How.
Reported controller buttons
Gamer Guides lists these controller inputs:
| Platform | Reported input |
|---|---|
| Xbox | Hold RT and press X |
| PlayStation | Hold R2 and press Square |
These are reported defaults, not universal bindings: All Things How describes controller inputs differently. If the sequence does not work, check the game’s current control settings and your controller profile for remapped bindings.
Weapon context
Techland’s Behind the Beast: Weapons & Playstyles overview provides broader context on weapons in the game, but it does not document the exact throw buttons.
