Did... Did I just snipe myself?
Last night I was lucky enough to join FiZzoR for some trials on his steam when this happened. At first I thought that I just traded with the other guy, then I saw the feed "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN"... Did I snipe myself? How on earth did that even happen?
I'm not exactly sure what killed me, does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
A lot of people think that we just traded. There are two reasons why I don't think this is the case. Firstly, it doesn't give him the kill, it just said "BRUTALBREAKD0WN IS DOWN". Secondly, he was using the 1000 yard stare that everyone gets from the taken war quest which comes with firefly. If he killed me it would have had to have been with a headshot, which would have caused firefly to proc.
My current theory (although it still probably isn't completely correct) is that sniper bullets have more than one active frame in which they can deal damage. This explains why a ton of collateral sometimes just don't look right. Maybe lag extends this period or something. Either way I think that I sniped him, then strafed behind cover whilst the bullet still had active damage frames, during this time the bullet ricocheted off the box thing in front of me causing me to snipe myself. It's not a solid theory but so far it's the best thing that I can think off other than "I just died for no reason when I fired my gun"

I regularly murder myself with a sleeper =(

The same thing happened to me with a Titan Bubble. A TITAN BUBBLE!!!

2 RepliesThat's just lag, you traded with him. Most people I play with live over seas so I get a lot of lag simular to this.
-
It looked to me like it ricocheted off of his head..
-
Ya I sworded myself before! Lol
-
1 ReplyWhat is looked like to me is that he shot, hit you, you shot, then you both died. Weird? Did the other guy get the kill?
-
Skip rounds?
-
I think it's just a bug. I've had it where I've shotgunned a guy with a sword and it has killed myself and vice versa.
-
Looking at that now, it happened to me before too lol

It was just a glitch in the game. I've been hit by rockets and gotten killed by the architects. He sniped you but the game didn't process it correctly. It new you were dead, just didn't know why.

1 ReplyA void bullet killed you, your sniper is void... So yeah maybe, do you know what the other guys sniper elemental was?
-
Haha, this reminds me of when I killed myself with Sleeper Simulant. I shot a guardian and it ricocheted off and killed me
-
Nerf yourself, Op is too Op
-
I think your bullet ricocheted off the wall and went right over the top of your cover and hit you in the head. That's what it looked like to me at least.
-
Ricochet rounds?
-
1 ReplyNotice he still has full health too even though he died. Looked like some good ol fashion lag to me
-
1 ReplyI feel your pain brother, exact same thing happened to me here...
-
1 ReplyDo you have skip rounds on your sniper?
-
He used the Force to deflect the bullet back at you.
-
Same exact thing happened to me over the weekend. Me and another guy traded in the same spot, except he got the headshot on me and it said *his name* is down even though I pulled a headshot too.
-
Was on the opposite end of this I aim at the head and fire we both die but I don't get a kill it's just confusing :/
-
Rekt.
-
That happens when I use a sword except the other way around. If I get a sword hit on somebody the same moment I die, it doesn't register the kill and the game just says they are down yet they get the kill on me. Maybe the same scenario with you, maybe you guys both headshot each other, your headshot was a frame earlier so you got the kill but he also fired in that frame or perhaps the very next frame and still got you down
-
This map bro... I think the bullets ricochet off dead corpses that float and come back and hit you. Happened to me and a friend a few times. Sometimes they didn't even have a sniper...
