Just happened to me, was running my SplatCat in River Assault. Enemy Trebuchet came wading in from the river and I greeted it with a 5-SRM6 garland -- the sixth was shot away earlier. Turns out to be the only attack I did the whole game as it turned into a base-swap.

Mission Summary noted that I did 2 points of damage and had a kill. So.. that 30 missile cluster? the first to hit killed the Trebuchet somehow -- don't ask me how, I have no idea. The remaining 73 points didn't count as the Trebbie was dead already. (Interesting to know, btw, that the system stopped accounting damage to dead mech at point of death.)

So I got curious -- what's the lowest amount of damage you've done that resulted in a kill?

10 I think.

I think 2 as well. It was one pellet from an LBX10 at like 400m on a dark red dragon toso. Popped his engine. It was a random click that resulted in a lol from local.

I did die a few times with zero actual damage, shortly after the patch. It was due to the OOB trigger kicking in but not shutting off if you re-entered the same corner edge twice within 30 seconds. Was kinda cool actually, filed bug.

2 glorious points of damage. I have seen someone score two kills with 1 point of damage. Still baffled as to how he pulled it off.

Back in closed beta I hit an enemy Hunchie with a single gauss round and it died instantly. Never did discover how that happened or why. I'd like to think it was a bug of some sort...

[8RoundsRapid]

10 at most. I came over a hill in my cent and there was an atlas, fired one erppc shot while backing away and it hit his cockpit and killed him.

[Tickdoff Tank]

Recently had 3 kills, 51 damage. ERPPC+PPC+2SSRM2s on a Trebuchet K2.

I had a friend get two kills with a single shot from a med pulse laser. I forgot what the first mech he killed was, but it died almost instantly, allowing the laser to continue into the cockpit of a jenner, killing it as well. So that's two kills for ~6 damage, although its certainly not 1 in reference to Bilbo's post. That is just insane lol, the one thing I've come up with concerning this kind of freak occurrence happening in any game is that there are so many people playing all the time even something as ridiculous as two kills with one damage will probably happen. That and glitches create infinite possibilities.

think it was 5 or 10

I got a machine gun kill in my DRG this weekend. I don't know what the damage was but I know it had to be pretty much nothing.

Was fighting a hunchy when a light ran by and i just happenned to flick the machine guns over it as the light flew across my screen and poof dead. It had to be a really damaged and got a really lucky crit cause i doubt more than 3 bullets actually touched it. LOL

[Yokaiko]

4 kills 128 damage, shooting dark red CTs with a cicada

Possible with MGs/flamers (weapons with less than 1 dps) or at the extreme range of weapons (SL at ~170m, ML at ~530m, etc.).

[Strykewolf]

Had a match where I showed 2 kills, 1 damage... I still go on that one.

Whats bad is a few months ago I got a kill and a Team kill from this. I shot my 4ac5s (Cataphract 4x) at once, killing the enemy catapult and also the team mate centurian right behind it.

[Oni Ralas]

So a friend of mine started playing and was *constantly* complaining about how fragile the mechs were. Then on a run together, he got one shot'd by an AC20. Not a dual AC20 cat or anything, but a single AC20 at the beginning of the match. I was like....wtf....you're in a dragon... even the shooter was a tad perplexed.

Turns out in his mechbay tuning sessions, he had somehow got the numbers inverted on armor. He had pretty much put everything on his back, nothing on his front. I had to laugh at him, and he too laughed...and it explained how he could run away with the best of them and survive We have since resolved the issue, and his faith in MWO has been restored.

Once in River City, I engaged a damaged Atlas in my new, unmodified Spider SDR-5D. I fired my flamer for half a second and he keeled over. One kill, one single point of damage. It was the funniest and most insane thing I'd seen up to that point.

[Tehtos]

I've been killed by "collision damage". I thought my C1 could squeeze through a narrow opening, but it turns out enemy Atlases are horrible doors.

[NitroBurst]

Between 36 and 39 (one of the two) damage for the whole match and got one kill. I had my CPLT-C1 targeting wildly until I got one that lasted long enough to fire my LRM15x2 racks. Fired a second salvo and it scored the kill for me then. After that I just lollygagged considering the rest of my team was on mop-up lol

6.

I once got a kill some were around 350-400m with a pair of medium lasers in a trial spider. I hit the targets CT that literally must have had two points left on its internal structure.

I also killed myself in my commando. My right torso was exposed with maybe 3 points left in it at most. During a brawl I clipped a friendly catapult. The small amount of collision damage took out my torso and the XL engine in it.

While spectating through a player using an LRM boat catapult C1 I saw him get the last kill of a match by a death from above. he charged and jumped on to the enemy mech from 30-50m out. The small amount of collision damage took out his CT.
