How to throw objects in Content Warning

You can throw things very far.

You’ll notice you don’t have any weapons to defend yourself in Content Warning unless you buy the shock stick, but that will cost you a lot of money you don’t have yet. So how do you defend yourself? One option is throw bones and skulls you find on the way.

How to throw items in Content Warning

You just have to hold down Q and release to throw objects in Content Warning. If you just press Q, you’ll drop whatever is in your hand. The camera will shake a little and you’ll hear a sound to indicate how strong your throw will be.

If you are being attacked by a monster while holding the camera, it’s a good idea to throw the camera to a friend far from the monster, so they can grab it and run with the footage. The camera should be prioritized over players, since they are the sole item that can get you money and views to meet the objective in time.

Throwing is particularly useful against the star creature in the ceiling. If you throw an object on it, it will drop the player being elevated, saving them from being held upside down. It will also save you time since it takes a while for the star creature to drop a player on its own.

Not every monster will be affected by the objects you throw and aiming isn’t exactly easy even when you are standing still. It’s almost impossible to aim while throwing while you are panicked, running away, or being attacked, so take solid aim before you throw an object. Your life might depend on it.
