10-ish, I believe. Raked some MLs across an atlas's face (cockpit was damaged) and he keeled over instantly.

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.

Machine gun?

I know I've walked up behind a mech while my UAC/5 was jammed with too much heat for the Pulse Lasers and fired off the Machinegun "just because the torso is red... who know?" and laughed when he popped.

You are a terrible person.

That is all.

Not sure, about the guy with 1 point. It was way back in closed beta. For my 2 point kill, it was an ac/20 from long distance. My slow a** couldn't get to the fight before it was done.

3 damage the entire game and killed only one person that game with a machinegun headshot.... I still question myself everyday

Zero, was a glitch in the game for awhile. Was funny to see deaths on the scoreboard and people doing zero damage.

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.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one this has happened to. A couple of weeks ago I ran past a friendly Stalker and was awarded (penalized) a TK as he keeled over. So that's my kill with the lowest damage...not a single weapon fired lol

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.

I've had that happen to me. StreakCat versus me in my Commando, only two left, on our base. I was out of ammo so I shut down so he couldn't fire his streaks, he proceeded to jump on me to kill me and win the match.

I've also killed myself numerous times by running too fast over uneven terrain, and a couple of times by smashing my Commando's face into the crotch of an Atlas.

As for least amount of damage dealt for a kill, I've had several time where a single shot with a weapon just makes the target go boom - I've never managed to see beforehand if they were really, really damaged or if it's just a glitch, but it's been everything from a single medium laser to a LB-10X shot that's done it.

during closed beta I got 3 kills in the same match while piloting a dragon with no weapons. I was testing the dragon's ability to knock down other mechs and not fall itself so I was running into mechs on purpose all the time. three mechs died to collisions with me and I did 0 damage. I guess collision damage wasn't being counted

[nitra]

ill never know the answer to this, as i am too busy pulling every trigger mapped to a weapon group. to have the faintest idea of what actually killed the target.

[Inyc]

I've gotten quite a few kills with my 2 ML and 2 LL centurion. 28 damage right in the cockpit.

[jper4]

5 or 6 i think, fired a couple of ML at 400ish m or so away(to avoid getting caught in the swirling melee) and got a kill- and the K2 sitting on the hill promptly thanked me for not being in the pack to be more easily targeted by him.

[Dirus Nigh]

Ive gotten kills with the small laser in my hunchback's head several times. One moment that stands out was on River City. I was in the tunnel under the landing pad with major damage, just a head, sitting on an engine, with feet. I had a hunchback and dragon drop down right in front of me. I shot them both in the CT with my small laser as they landed. Killed them both.

I always keep the small laser in the hunchbacks head, to me it's a lucky charm.

Did a whopping 3 dmg in my Raven4X running an AC5 and getting the last of a 'Phract's CT at range as I rounded a corner. Only shot I fired in a conquest match and it took him out.

I had a really weird game about 3 weeks ago in my K2 where I got four kills and only did 97 dmg. Started the match completely out of position, then as I finally caught up to the action, everything I shot fell over.

[Joseph Mallan]

Not sure individually but I got 2 kills and 3 assists with 93 damage!
Don't ask, cause i was stunned when i saw it!

[Agent of Change]

My lowest i believe was a single ML sweep so between 2 and 5 damage.

however a guy i play with managed a hilarious 1 damage kill and then died. Running in a cicada in the frozen city tunnel he smacked dead on into the bright red CT of a mech i was fighting, but got hung up on the mech long enough to get obliterated in the on going crossfire with his teammates.

[Fiachdubh]

Not sure about the points count but have killed a mech with first shot from medium lasers and today killed an Atlas with a burst of machine gun fire. Obviously others had done the hard work before I arrived late to steal the kills with a lucky shot. Sorry about that.

Obviously, you can get a kill with, say, MGun first bullet got into stripped and crippled Gauss, wich got cooked off on top of XL engine. That would be 0.04 pts.

[Wispsy]

1, I am relatively sure it was a steal
On the other hand I have had 5 with 124. Few headshots and couple of steals
Jenners ftw, confirming those kills whereever possible!

I once lost a Raven to this, heavily damaged (everyone in the brawl was actually, lots of LRMs that day) and slammed a hard left down a River City alley to get out of a Hunchback's sights, slam a hard right as I exit, only to come face to face with an awesome at full speed, try to slip between him and the building. Impail my unarmoured and damaged left side torso on his arm-cannon. Explode, giving him a hilarious low damage kill and presumably leaving half a Raven hanging off his PPC.

Given as I tend to play fairly hit-and-run/jousty, I often find I have heat to fire, but am out of LOS of my main target, so obviously I throw a laser volley off at whatever hostile is giving me a nice shot at the time. A surprising amount of the time, it's a random killshot - I guess they're shielding the wounded component from the guy they are fighting, hence it gets exposed to the passing Raven. Stalkers sans a side torso are especially vulnerable to this, as are (god knows why) Awesomes.

There's also, during my MG-patch-testing, been a couple of instances where I've sprayed an unarmoured side torso on a mech I'm not engaging (as per above, really) and been rewarded with an ammo explosion. (Not often enough to stick with the useless things, mind.)
