Friendly Fire

[Oh. daesu]

The friendly fire I'm familiar with comes from grenades and sticky bombs. Or the indirect explosions when you shot up gasoline /gas/ bomb canisters when your team mates are within the vicinity (who'd do that on purpose).

In the pts, I've notice that seeker airburst mines can burn you. I had gone back to 1.3 to check it wasn't a recent change i might have missed, and you can still run into the flames immuned to the affects.

Also, I've noticed one of my pug'er mates could take down our health through gun bursts. This seemed to have been done by the bleed affect. I'm guessing maybe Predator's Mask. 

Anyone else noticed theae affects? Bleed might be something i haven't noticed previously. And i couldn't find anything else in other forums, so that suggests it might not be entirely new to 1.4.

Hmmm, so maybe they're testing some ninja changes to friendly fire to see how it affects players and gameplay.  Might be a way to "counteract" some of the nerfs to NPC health.

This would be awesome.  Should also be applied to the NPCs though and see how long it would take them to kill each other with some tactical maneuvering (joking on this part but would be fun to watch).

Would also help prevent some spray and prey styles and people who keep running right in front of you as you are firing and blocking your shots.

:91_thumbsup: :91_thumbsup:  if this goes in :5_smiley: .

They're working on realism, this would go a long way.  Maybe something for WT 4?

Hmmm, posed this as a question for Bombshell Jackets on their Twitter.

Well, I checked over at the official forums and apparently it is a bug. Other weapon talents, such as first bullet is sets-a-fire, also have the issue. 

 

[Oh. daesu]

Evidently, still a bug. :4_joy:

 

[Oh. daesu]

Had a feeling it would make its way in.

So, airburst will burn ya! Whether your own or your squadies'.
