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"

Edited by Cowboybebop: 12/15/2015 1:09:17 AMHappen to me once, are you using skip rounds? I do know you might he using quick draw on blade dancer but don't know if you have snap shot equipped. But either way the rounds tend to skip rarely on their own. This happened to me the during the first time trials was released. It was a 1v2, I took out the first guy and then I went for the second shot. I killed the guy but ended up in a tie due to the fact it must of skipped and landed back on my face or something. I was like WTFFF?????????? ended up being that becuase I had a ldr with skip rounds lmao. But nice collat on your self xD.

I think it's lag. I did see his lens flare. On his screen he probably shot you and it lagged so hard that it didn't know what to do with it.

Maybe the bullets bounce in even a no-gravity environment. It's funny though.

Love it, good laugh
-
Looks like a bit of lag and Destiny basically saying 'I don't know what happened'.
-
Nice drag shot, and probably skip rounds would be the cause of your death.

Bump for you

You were yellow bar, so i think lag had something to do with it.
