You can now launch dynamite directly from your hand! To do this, hold the dynamite in your dominant hand and the fire starter in your non-dominant hand, then hold down the right mouse button. Releasing the button will toss the dynamite into the air.
Caution: if you hold the mouse button for longer than 4.5 seconds, the dynamite will explode in your hands, causing significant damage! A distinctive hissing sound will alert you to the imminent detonation.
Try to time your release carefully, as launching the dynamite too early will cause it to travel too far and detonate slowly, while launching it too late will cause it to explode right in front of you. Find the balance!
