Screenshot says you were damaged by heat and your cockpit was destroyed. The ever glorious RNGesus decided to strike you down in the cockpit with his first bit of retribution.

Maybe just try to not run override in an LRM boat until you get into a situation where you really really need it, and even then use it only when you know you are going to die anyway since it might just get you one extra shot off, but usually its a death sentence from cockpit kills like this.

RNGesus, only one in the game with the Guillotine title.

Edit:
Would be nice if we could have gotten the expanded picture and were able to see where your heat was at.

Happened to me the other night too in my ACH, it stinks and yea you feel robbed.

Overriding with ammo in your head is.... not a wise decision. RNGesus preys on those margins.

the irony of it is that Head ammo is the first one to be spent when firing, something as ludicrous as firing 2-3 times may solver the ammo part issue,

Also Op sure he didn't go unbound, seems doubtful as the pic resembles canyon but just curious.

You're a filthy LRM boat, that's why. ,Lghtning struck you down just as you deserved.

This... This totally made my day. Thank you, sir.

Another thing to take into account the center torso is suppose to go yellow from heat before it spread to any other part of the mech. It didn't, also when I hit fire the mech did not fire anything just dropped. It surely wasn't a head shot the head armor is still intact. Maybe the combination of using override and having ammo in the head causes this.

A few guys have told me they had the same issue when using override while ammo was equipped in the head.

You may have fired several LRMs at once --> ghostheated and got minor heat dmg to the head.
And no there is no component supposed to go anything before an other....heat dmg is randomly distributed.

So far so good nothing serious but heat damage that is damaging internals is able to damage components stored there.Lasers....ACs....Gauss .....or your ammo for example.

BOOOOOOMMM

Head ammo is the very *last* to be expended. It used to be the first a very long time ago, but apparently they switched it when nobody was paying attention or something. And no... there's no official source for this. Just a couple of guys in private lobbies messing around trying to get ammo to crit.

RNGesus decided you needed to die, what happens when your masturbating and overheat, your head explodes

thanks for the heads up, been out of the loop for quite a while and didn't even noticed that

Nope, word from the devs is that it's the last. The old post about the order from back in the day started the sequence at the head, which apparently was incorrect.
