🧪 What Is Kerosene Used For?

Kerosene is a flammable liquid used in several high-value crafting recipes. You’ll recognize it by its red and blue bottle design. It’s mostly used to make weapons that cause fire damage, which is super effective against Freakers.

🛠 Crafting Tips for Kerosene Items

• Keep 3–4 bottles stocked at all times, especially before nest-clearing missions or Horde fights.
  
• Craft before combat, not during. Deacon’s animations take time, and you don’t want to be caught mid-craft.
  
• Use Stealth + Fire: Burn a nest and hide. Freakers might leave the area, and it still counts as cleared.
  
• Use Incendiary Bolts on explosive barrels to chain-detonate and save bullets when swarmed.
  

Kerosene is the backbone of your fire-based arsenal in Days Gone Remastered. From clearing nests to torching Hordes, having a steady stash will make your life a whole lot easier.

Stock up early, use it wisely, and keep an eye out around NERO zones and Ambush Camps to make sure you’re never out when you need it most.
