Alien: Isolation stands apart from conventional shooters - this survival horror masterpiece rewards stealth over firepower, especially when facing the relentless Xenomorph. The game deliberately limits your arsenal to situational tools designed for survival rather than aggression. Whether evading Working Joes, hostile humans, or temporarily warding off the Alien, mastering your equipment is paramount. This guide breaks down every primary weapon and craftable tool for surviving Sevastopol's horrors.
The Molotov Cocktail
This makeshift incendiary ranks among the few reliable methods to repel the Xenomorph. A well-placed throw forces the creature to shriek and retreat, though be warned - this only grants temporary respite before its vengeful return.
Flashbang
Primary Function:
Disorients humans and synthetics
Optimal Use:
Creating escape opportunities
The flashbang's blinding burst and concussive report won't deal damage, but can stagger human enemies or disrupt android trackers - perfect for avoiding unnecessary confrontations.
