Matches are a weapon in POSTAL 2.

Description

A box of "Arizona Blue Tip" matches is the first weapon the Postal Dude starts off with and is the only weapon that cannot be dropped or is ever forcibly removed from the inventory. The Gas Can's secondary fire is to throw a match to light the gasoline, effectively making the Matches on their own redundant most of the time. However, as they are never removed from the inventory, they are also the only thing in the game that can set off the sprinklers in the Police Station to allow a jailbreak. The quantity for the box of Matches is unlimited, thus allowing setting things alight and break out of prison for no extra cost except for some gasoline. Tossing a match at an NPC makes them react as if you have bumped into them.

Enhanced Mode

Alt-fire throws multiple matches at once.

Trivia

• Strangely, matches can only set very few things alight without the aid of gasoline.
  • These are your cellmate in Apocalypse Weekend and the various weed plants dotted throughout Paradise.
