Turn off Friendly Fire

[todddepri]

Because there are players that are not able to behave like a decent human beeing and kill people on purpose with airstrikes or while they sit in extraction. People like that is why we cant have nice things, so just disable FF please.

Give me all your steam points and nobody gets hurt!
Still, there is nothing else to talk about it really -- friendly fire is taken very lightly in this game. And maybe you should as well.

If a player is griefing you, block him.
Simple as that.

Find some buddies to play with, you'll still get team killed but it's easier to laugh about

I'm not going to bother touching on the other aspects of the post, because it seems like you can't decide if you can accept whether things can launch in a non-perfect state or not, so I'll leave you to ponder that one on your own.

This however, goes against part of the design philosophy for Helldivers. So, no. It would not be doing "everyone a favor" as you so put it. Helldivers are supposed to be disposable pawns of Super Earth, blindly following directives that they are given (sound familiar?).

Friendly fire has been a core component of the gameplay. It's part of the fun and the shenanigans. If it was removed, even by an option to do so, the entire game would have to be adjusted to compensate for it. Turrets would have to be redesigned, air support would have to be adjusted, weapons would have to be modified. The entirety of the game is designed around the philosophy that if you can't pay attention to what's going on around you, or communicate accordingly, bad (but funny) things are going to happen.

There's literally tooltips and memes about it. You would be stripping part of the game's identity because you apparently find it largely inconvenient to die from "friendly fire". Be it intentional or otherwise.

I'm glad you find the game fun, and that you are supporting the devs in their endeavor to make an even better game, but the friendly fire isn't going anywhere. The devs have made that abundantly clear since the first Helldivers.

How do you do that? Will it prevent matchmaking with that person? Or just block their Steam profile?

I do think the lowest difficulty ought to have friendly fire off

youre an 18 year old dude not expected to last more then 30minutes,
either by accidental friendly fire or by the sheer amount of hordes of enemies,

just say the game isnt for you.

>Is upset that you can be team killed in a game where the marketing shows team kills

PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME,

Me on trial for the murder of all my comrades.
"Your honor, it was pretty based tbh"

Quit crying and play a different game. Friendly fire is intentionally part of the game and there's no reason it should be removed

[Guts]

I've only had one guy shoot me on purpose to take my weapons. The host immediately shot him then kicked him because of how obvious it was. Funny thing is, if he had asked, I would have let him use them anyway.

But yeah, that's what the kick function is for. If you have a team mate who is intentionally committing friendly fire.

You are the reason why we cant have nice things, You literally advocate against them because you think its mean or unfair.

this defeats the entire point of the game tho
