So does the EGO Weapon you get from DF (I am not going to attempt to spell his name right now lol) have friendly-fire? It's not listed as such anywhere as far as I'm aware but while I was fighting the Amber Dawn, all going well in the beginning, my sole employee with the weapon walked in, fired it at the worms, and killed half of my other employees also fighting them.

I get that Commission work hits employees, but the EGO weapon really shouldn't...I had to restart the day because of it (thankfully it was just Dawn so it wasn't that far in).

It's awesome because they can snipe across whole hallways, completely destroying some ordeals with a minimum of danger to themselves. But now you have to consciously keep them away from the rest of the team when you go to suppress things.

Also, inevitable clerk collateral damage.

Yeah, I kept it on him because it's a good weapon. But there's already been two occasions where I forgot to separate him from the group before ordering them all to attack an Ordeal or something. Thankfully I leveled them all up a bit more so they ONLY took a large amount of damage, rather than dying. To which I'd immediately remember the issue and move my "lone ranger" away from them, lmao.

It's kinda weird, and I'd prefer if it WASN'T friendly-fire, but I can probably get used to it and tolerate it.

(Also, it really should be listed in the EGO weapon's details drop-down)

The good thing is it hit the whole room so ordeal or suppression with multiple targets in one room would be ideal.

Der Freischütz, it's not that difficult to spell. xD
Der (the) Frei (free) schütz (sounds more like shot, but actually means something like protect).
The word Freischütz means Sniper. The germans use the word schütze for riflemen, so it may be an idea to remember schutz as shot anyway.

Or simply call the abnormality "The Sniper"

tbh: The suprise of the E.G.O killing my other employees was actually interesting and unexpected. I don't think it should be spoiled. xD

It’s kind of a big deal if someone is, say, late into a day with a lot of progress on making EGO equipment and leveling up new employees only to suddenly kill half of them by mistake with it, losing a bunch of EGO stuff and high level employees as a result. To avoid situations like THAT, it should at least be mentioned briefly somewhere. Maybe as one of the last managerial tips.
