What's wrong with Pineapples?

Post by iXtl » Mon 07 Jan , 2013 11:20 am

Hi,
I have a problem with Pineapple grenades. I am often killed when I am throwing them, without any reason.
For example: I have two grenades and I am throwing them both, one by one (far). When they are exploding (far) I am killed with a comment that I have killed myself with Pineapple. What's wrong?

You're hitting one (or more) of your teammates which causes your death by the reversed friendly fire.

Reverse friendly fire was added to cut down on the "Throw and forget" attitude of many grenade users. The intent was to make people more aware of where they are actually throwing them, instead of just hoping for a kill, thereby reducing levels of spam.

In retrospect, it doesn't always work and punishes the user when a moron teammate walks onto your grenade..

Oops, I have thought all grenades were excluded from RFF. Now I see I was wrong :)

Only the FP7 and T10 grenades are excluded from friendly fire at the moment.
