While you don't want to just waste a fuel canister especially if you're running low on gas yourself, there's no denying that the cans lying around the world can make for some much needed firepower against Freakers. Explosive items aren't exactly rare in Days Gone, but it can be difficult to get enemies lined up properly, especially in the thick of battle.

Consequently, in order to turn the tide of a fight, picking up a gas can, throwing it into the horde and shooting it is a perfect tactic.

Instead of waiting until it hits the ground though, which can render it useless if the Freakers are fast enough, you want to hit focus mode as soon as you toss it and shoot it while it's in mid-air.

This should maximise the impact of the explosion, and gave you way more control over where it's aimed.
