Friendly fire bug?

[Tacticowl]

I could swear there wasn't friendly fire when I tested it with my friends, but I just accidentally shot someone in operations and they straight up dropped dead, and it even showed me as the killer in the killfeed. Afterwards, confused, I shot a bullet at my other teammate, who then took damage.

Note: Killing them with a bullet. Not a grenade, not an explosive barrel, not hit from an enemy, but from my bullet. I need to emphasize that I can with 100% certainty say it was my bullets that did the damage to them.

Nope. Not on players (not 100% sure about frags and environmental hazards tho)

There's nothing friendly about it, but I'm disappointed by it's ineffectiveness.

no freidnly fire but dont throw granades to your team mates because they will knock them back a little.

and to your case with the operations: did you shoot the player or an explosive barrel next to him?

The player. After trying to shoot at the other player afterwards to test (a lil dickish, I know) they also took some damage despite there being no enemies currently around.

This was definitely friendly fire, but if the game isn't supposed to have it, and the last patch didn't patch it in either, then I assume this to have been a bug.

Mostly no, but in some cases yes.

The two cases I know of are Krak Grenades and Melta Bombs. Krak Grenades can kill your teammates if a stuck enemy jumps at them just before it explodes, and Melta Bombs can kill your teammates if detonated via shooting (detonating them normally doesn't seem to TK).

pretty sure explosive barrels also cause damage to anyone nearby

Direct fire from your weapons? There is no friendly fire, but the teammates will eat your bullets if you shoot them (so its still best to avoid shooting through your teammates)
At least it seems so as it does very little damage

Grenades (all of them) can deal friendly fire, I think on the 2nd and 1st difficulty you dont take damage from grenades, but once you enter the 3rd and 4th they will do damage
(these are rough numbers without any HP increases)
Frag will do roughly 50% if you stand in the middle
Krak about 80% in the middle
Melta will oneshot you if you stand in the middle (so be very careful with it)
Shock Grenades will do small but consistant damage over time, so dont stand inside it (the shock area Bulwark can create does NOT do damage while looking near identical, keep that in mind)
All grenades (apart from the Shock nade) do less damage the further you are away from the blast radius, in general, watch where you throw and blow your nades

And while I dont really have to mention it but feel like I still should (since in campaign they dont damage you yet in pve they do), enviornmental hazards like exploding flowers, red canisters and the blue power nodes that you can shoot so they explode
Not really sure how much damage they do but I believe they are similar to frag nades in terms of friendly fire, so be wary shooting them if someone's around them

I blew myself up with a Melta Bomb once. Do I win £5?

Most people seem to have only read the title and not through the discussion before posting so I changed the title and made the description more detailed to avoid further confusion.
