How do you kill a player
Right there in the title. Everyone keeps getting back up. They literally won't die. I fought a team of three while solo and had six kills on them before I finally died. I see in the patch notes they are adding solo revives when what I really need is SOME way to perma kill someone. I tried burning them and setting up things all over their bodies but that just seems to delay the rez.

Give me something. Let me walk up to a body and just smash it's phylactery. Give me a holy water smashable that all it does is kill the undead players I keep fighting. It's super annoying.
I am only level 40 and a newer player but fighting people while dudes are rezzing players though walls that get up when I just killed them is insane. I don't want to camp a single player's corpse just to ensure they stop getting back up. I have other things to do and the rest of their team to fight.

The game has been moving towards counter strike since leaving EA. Run and gun, the more the better. If game element is at odds with main imperative, it will be removed. Dying is bad for run and gun. So over the years they introduced chokes, remote revive (og necro), reward revive with no health chunks, and now self revive. Can't wait to see what's next to come! Perhaps a portable "campfire" tool which will act as a respawn point for your team. Visible in dark sight obviously, so totally balanced and in spirit of the game.

You are a solo with trios enabled in matchmaking......and you're complaining that the people you are fighting are reviving?

Yeah. How do you perma kill them? Someone suggested burning the bodies but I did one with a lamp and it didn't take. Guy got back up. Do you need to firebomb them for some kind of longer duration or does the burn not take out all the bars to perma them?

It would be really foolish for me as a solo to go all unreal tournament on them with how guns work in this game. I can only pick them apart one or two at a time but if the last guy slips away then they are all still in the game and I have to live on two corpses for the rest of the match. Worst cases are when I actually think I wiped a duo out but there was a third stray looking for god knows what elsewhere and picks up the whole team while I am advancing on the bounty target.

So I want to know how to literally perma bodies. Ill bring 4x fire bombs if it actually does it just for a single corpse. I saw their new update was adding solo revives so this is always gonna be an issue because they really like reviving for some reason in this game and I need to know the solution.

Every time you down someone they lose a healthbar; this means they are easier to kill again or just fully dead if they are out of bars.
Fire damage slowly burns these bars, but it usually takes around a minute or two for a body to fully burn out when you set it ablaze.
If you want to kill a team make sure they're all dead... can't revive a mate if they are all dead.

Anyone have any idea how long each of the fire bombs burn for? I remember reading the lamps you pick up are 25 seconds but are the fire bombs longer?

Burning takes a long time, no point in doing that unless you want their teammates to move. Best thing you can do is cover the bodies and make sure they don't get revived, then kill anyone who attempts to revive them.

Bodies will continue to burn even after the duration of the fire bomb or lantern until all their health is burned away or a teammate puts them out.

aka just bring 2 or 3 molotovs with you? i think the best combo (for offensive purposes) is 2 frags / dynamyte bundles and 2 fire bombs

gives a fine mixture between offensive and defensive power but even then that will never make up for the disadvantage of going solo which should and will never change

eeryone wants solo to be buffed despite the fact you shouldnt be some super OP hunter because you dont have teamates

thats kinda what you want, them to panic

also even if they dont burn out your taking away multiple chunks which is what you do want (limiting their revives and leaving them at lower max hp making their body's 1 tap) your aim shouldnt be directly burn someone out just by ignighting them but rather to create pressure ad weaken the player (weakening the team as a whole)

also you cant really camp bodies as a solo unless they dont know where you are which if you downed someone either you got a headshot while in a bush and their confused or they know where you are, that being said you should do what it takes to prevent picking up to begin with (just even make them scared to go close even if you arent watching them)

best way to keep someone dead is to burn. if not there teammates can keep reviving them lintel they have no more health chunks. that is unless they have bounty but that's at the cost of there health. another good tip is if you're able to trap the body. because even if they necro the person the trap will go back off and should unless they have resilience re kill them!

Once you set someone on fire they will remain burning until someone uses a Choke Bomb to put it out. I've used Firebombs, Lanterns, and even Oil on the ground to set enemies on fire, they will always burn unless put out or revived by their teammate.

can be creative with shooting a immulator on them

also any wall lanteren or yellow barrles will ignite them (p.s can ignite oil with incendiary ammo and bbarrles will explode instantly)
