Something has to be done about friendly fire

[No Compres, Adopta]

comes to mind some things like theese:
*-show at the end of every game how much friendly dmg each player did
*-take some of the credit, minerals or XP from players that did too much
*-A warning could also be nice
I get a lot of friendly fire from gunners with the misile launcher and drillers with almost everything, I know whats on their mind, they think "don't worry bro i can use my shield to revive you or something like that". I don't give a ♥♥♥♥, just don't ♥♥♥♥♥ hit me, either use your pistol for certain scenarios or be very careful when using AOE damage.
Also i would love to know how much and how impactful is when I do friendly fire, i don't like doing it but sometimes ♥♥♥♥ hapens (specially to guners that use the misile luncher and drillers)

If you're getting FF'd by the missile launcher, you are decidedly the problem. It's impossible for a gunner to miss with that weapon, and the explosion doesn't actually deal any FF damage, so you're standing in front of the gunner while they're directing their shots, which is your fault at least some of the time. Don't walk in front of your teammates while they're shooting, don't stand so close to the enemies.

As for penalizing players, that's too easy to abuse. Imagine someone constantly jumping in front of your gun and tanking your payout for the mission.

If it bothers you run Friendly, that's why it exists.

In that case you can just not click the fire button when anyone gets in front of you. but even more important, why would someone be constantly jumping in front of your gun and tanking your payout for the mission? LMAO
In this particular case I was drilling to the drop pod while getting attaked from behind by a gliphyd grunt, the gunner (that was behind the glyphyd) overkilled it with the hurricane taking some of my hp.
the hurricane has:
**Area Damage 20 Explosive
**Radius 1.4m
**Maximum Damage Radius 1m
**Minimum Damage 50%

But your life would be so much harder when you constantly have to look out for some troll trying to make your life miserable. They'd do it because it'd be an easy way to annoy you and waste your time. That's their only goal.

You got hit with one, maybe two missiles then. Would you prefer they left the grunt alive and let it kill you? You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

the hurricane has:
**Area Damage 20 Explosive
**Radius 1.4m
**Maximum Damage Radius 1m
**Minimum Damage 50%

That area damage has a 0% friendly fire modifier - as in, it cannot do friendly fire damage. Only being directly hit by the missile deals friendly fire damage. That's 16 damage, reduced heavily depending on the hazard level. A single bite from that Grunt would have cost you just as much HP.

They are talking about one of the perk

"Friendly" is a perk that reduce how much damage you deal to your teamates and how much damage your teamates deal to you by 50%

Have you considered not walking straight into an active stream of fire and not standing inbetween drillers and swarms in general?
95% of the friendly fire i deal are people suddenly appearing in front of me when i had the enemies under control.
No, i will not stop holding back an entire swarm and let us get overrun just because someone got greedy for a few kills.

Yeah hold on, lemme be completely worthless to the team and let everyone die just so i don't give you a scratch.

If it REALLY bothers you, make your own lobby and make sure to put it in your title that you're really sensitive about FF. Punishments will literally never happen and not just because of trolls, i've saved many dwarves by shooting a grenade in their face to kill the 30 bugs that were about to completely delete them in the next second. By your logic i should get punished for carrying/saving the game.

You would also be punishing players for the usual goofing before the end of a mission.

Thank you! i get it now. I agree but i think it makes even more on my point, probably the players that should use that perk at most, don't even use it because they don't even know how much FF they are doing or getting.

don't stand in my way

It doesn't matter if they use it, as long as you use it; you'll take 1/2 the friendly fire damage.

Something has to be done with car drivers. I get hit a lot when I'm jaywalking.

Pro-tip: stop running infront of our barrels and you won't get shot

Thank you all for replying, for now, you can fix it by returning the favor. It shouldn't be the best way, but players stop doing FF when you blow them with c4 or empty the minigun on their napes.

Thanks for letting me know who to block in advance. You are literally the problem in the situation. Cheers.
