Covert Ops Friendly Fire

[El Razmataz]

There is no penalty for killing a friendly in covert ops. So what are we doing here? Are we going on killing everyone in sight as covert ops? That's boring and breaks immersion, I'd rather team up with other covert ops to take on geared players, so I guess I'm confused.

That I noticed, so if you suspect it is human just kill him first :(

imagine crying about shooting people in shooter game :D

btw nobody is forcing you to fight anybody, you can easily cooperate with other players if they want

You're an operative in disguise the NPCs even address you like you're some new recruit they haven't seen before. Other player Operatives would be considered hostile on sight as well so makes sense you'd still think they're hostile even if they're wearing glasses and a fake moustache.

It's Spy vs Spy not Among Us. Also even the boss NPCs will shoot player Covert Ops because they're not fooled by the disguise.

It's meant to just be used a rat and get some kit if you're broke while giving you a Mission chain for some XP too.

There shooter games and shooter games. This one is more slow paced and strategic, it shouldn't be like Doom where you shoot everything that moves. I enjoyed deliberate PMC hunting in Tarkov, was hoping to do more of that on Arena Breakout.

Anyway, I'm not complaining, just confused about the direction of the game mode. I started killing everything in sight now and I came out with 550k + 270k in the last two Covert Ops raids lol. I feel sorry for the other Covert Ops players that came across my path, but life is hard for all of us.

as long as they aren't on the same team as you when you spawn in, its free game to shoot whoever you want.
