Author:Kristen Update:Dec 16,2025

While open combat may thrill, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a stealth system for sneaking past enemies. Throwing rocks is a key stealth tactic, and here’s how to use it effectively.

How to Throw Rocks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

You can only throw rocks in stealth mode, activated by pressing the right stick on a controller or the C key on PC. While in stealth, hold the following button to throw a rock, depending on your platform:

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

Hold the button to see Henry’s right hand with a pebble and a crosshair showing the rock’s trajectory. Aim carefully, then release the button to throw the rock.

Tips for Effective Rock Throwing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Stealthy players rejoice: rocks are unlimited, so you can keep throwing without needing to retrieve missed shots.

Since Henry throws small pebbles, their noise radius is limited, so aim close to your target. Hitting objects like cups or plates creates a louder sound to attract attention.

A successful throw lures enemies to investigate, muttering in confusion. You can then stealthily eliminate them or slip away. Be cautious—hitting an enemy with a rock will cause an immediate uproar.

Rocks also knock down bird nests scattered across the map, yielding rewards like eggs for minor nourishment or rare dice badges for the lucky.

That covers rock throwing in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more guidance, The Escapist offers tips on securing the best horse or selling stolen goods for those continuing their stealthy adventures.
