Machine guns? they do less than 1 point of damage per round fired....

I can't be sure, but I think being locked on to someone when they die gives you an Assist. I've gotten several assist while locked on to mechs that were not only out of range, but not even in line of sight.

Granted maybe I had hit them earlier and forgotten about it... but I don't think so.

tag? narc?

what about the poor guy that did over 300 damage and got 0 match score?

Well. bumping into a friendly racks up team damage.. maybe they ran into 2 enemies?

I forget if team damage reduces your match score.. I'd guess yes.. even then... that'd be a LOT of team damage. It doesn't reduce the damage in the results screen, so nobody else would know

[stealthraccoon]

Damage is calculated down two decimal points. Probably MG’s, extreme range lasers/LBX or contact damage.

[Humpday]

AMS maybe?

[Nameless King]

The game does not list fractions of a point of damage so .5 damage to 2 mechs.

[B L O O D W I T C H]

Happend to me today too, in an anni. Did a solid 2 damage or so.

Got swarmed by lights (pir) and they bumped into me which counts as collision damage (damage is still damage).

[Bombast]

So, I went to test this. Jumped in a Kit Fox and went into a match. Didn't pull the trigger once. One mech died while I locked on to it, and I bumped into one mech by accident. So, if my theory was correct, that should be two assists.

I've got no God damn idea. Maybe AMS, ECM, and Lance In Formation contribute to assists? I'm confused...

Pressing r gives asists. Even if you only lock for 2 sec

I'm not so sure. I just want back and watched the video of my match, and I actually didn't get Assist credit on one of the mechs I locked and Comm Wheeled. What I did seem to get credit for was any kill that happened in my vicinity, locked on or not. Whether thats because of ECM or just because is beyond me.

Still not the whole picture, because at least 3 of my assist were earned after I was dead. Still confused.

AFK and two enemy mechs touched him. Happens a lot.

[Bilbo999]

I've had outright kills with 1 damage...

[IllCaesar]

Does collision damage count towards that number? To my knowledge it doesn't, so there is that as a possibility.

I had that happen on my Bushwacker a week or so ago, he likely called an air/artillery strike and allies ran into it likely dealing around 200 team damage which negates all the score he earned. Unless the guy tried to tk someone and took an st and an arm.

[Asym]

Me too ! Didn't fire a round, jumped in Rubble and died on the way into a swarm I didn't see below. 1 assist and zero damage?

[N0ni]

What i think might've happened is a laser grazing two mechs just at the edge of their maximum range... for no more than 0.5 damage each. Probably was the guy that was too slow for the team and did something like that just to say he contributed. My question then would be what the hell engine was he using and what path did he even take?

This is why you don't take the scenic route. Although it depends entirely on the team composition, since i've dropped in an Anni on Grim Plexus, more or less B-lined to the center and my team still managed to lose 7 mechs before i got there.

So many questions, not worth the time, still recovering from the flu that's going around, so i'll leave it as "just one of those odd games".

WOW, you got 8 assists with 1 damage..

And I though my example was odd..

It would be nice if some of the devs got in on this.. just to explain how things work or don't work..

Team damage.
I once scored the highest damage on the team, with the most kills, but i maaaaaaaay have dropped an arty strike and a friendly cicada decided to run into the smoke and stop there.

Ended up with 0 match score and a 10 minute penalty from getting into a match
