In DayZ Xbox One throwing items is now a thing as of the 1.04 update that was applied to the game in August 2019. It brings a number of features, with throwing being a big one. You can essentially throw anything in the game, and it’s a rather simple process.

What you need to do in order to throw items is to first place them within your hands. Once that’s done, you can double tap “X” (Playstation 4 tap “Square” twice.) and that will present a stance to chuck those items away. From that point you can tap the right trigger aka RT (or R2) and that will get those items moving out of your hands. That’s a weak throw however.

You can get a stronger acceleration for any items that goes flying in the air. You do this by holding down the trigger for an extended period of time. You will see your character’s arm start to shake and that’s the maximum throw. It helps to also aim well ahead in order to get a good throw going. Keep in mind that the objects will phase through things.

They’re mostly just for causing distractions as opposed to be helpful in combative situations. You can watch a video showcasing this skill below, it’s fairly simple to do though without it. Those are all the details for this experience thus far, read our review of the Xbox One DayZ version below or check out the general franchise hub for additional coverage over time.
