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"
Lol same thing happened when I was doing trials friday, I went to snipe a guy and as soon as I pulled the trigger he shot me as well. Maybe it's the game not knowing that a trade happened so it counted it as a suicide
