GTA 5 Online Molotov Cocktails also have specific spawn locations that can be easy to miss for new players. The most notable location is inside the Kosatka's dining hall, as shown in the above image. This weapon will flash white periodically, letting one know that they can pick it up.

The final miscellaneous method to talk about includes Motorcycle Clubs. More specifically, there is a position in the club known as Sergeant-at-Arms. Whoever has this rank can drop Molotov Cocktails for other GTA Online players, but it will cost them $200.

Since this method relies on others, it might not be the most desirable option in 2025. Still, it's something to consider, especially if the other ways to get this weapon don't seem that appealing to the reader.
