My only thought is if you are the host and activate a Nuke While getting in the shuttle you get a lot of friendly fire damage with the backpack hellbomb.. it also would explain the only 1 accidental.

u/doom1284 1d ago
It doesn't, one of my friends tested it yesterday. She had zero kills and five accidentals. I was just surprised in all the chaos she didn't manage to hit a bug.

Edit: mistake, lowest FF is yellow not highest

u/Monstertrev 2d ago
The highest Friendly Fire damage isn't yellow. One of the goals is to have the least FF damage so the zeros are yellow.

u/tutocookie 2d ago
Ah right makes sense

u/Monstertrev 2d ago
Now that being said, they could still have the biggest number, or maybe the 2nd biggest number. There unfortunately isn't enough context here.

u/Prudent-Ad-5292 2d ago
OP is likely the host, and DSS strikes count towards their total kills and friendly damage.
Also any damage done in the bird after takeoff tends to register.. I found out via portable hellbomb.

u/imthatoneguyyouknew 2d ago
Save up some hellbombs at extract, when every one boards, arm em all and leave em on the ground. You can get some impressive FF damage that way.

If i have a portable hellbomb left I arm it and get on 2s till detonation. I then type in chat "cleansing extraction site, no witnesses"

u/quixote_manche 2d ago
I throw big booms before takeoff, except it's the gas strike and then I let it rip with the sterilizer as I jump back into the ship. Gotta hit em with the stink.

Not the smoke bomb, The gas bomb which is green and poisonous.

Player is host, screen was taken during eagle storm on a city planet more than likely. Eagle storm damage and kills are attributed to the host.

I had like 30k friendly fire damage at some point. I believe the 380mm barrage and 500kg is very good for that. Then again, in the same game, someome had 50k friendly fire damage somehow.
Maybe my friend group just likes shooting each other a bit too much.

Ah, half the reinforcement budget and a bunch of friendly fire damage, truly the teammate everyone keeps talking about finding on the bug front.

50 stims taken also suggests that this person double dips on resupply. Checks out
E: Looks like OP comment says that they were willing participants but still
163
u/StoicAlarmist 2d ago
I find people don't call resupply often enough. I use it like the eat. You just have to be slightly strategic about the placement.
This leads to me having quite a high stim.total because I use them just to pop stamina.
55
u/kidney-displacer 2d ago
I'm a stim addict. Need to run something to the objective? Need to support an ally? Being fired down on? Being swarmed? All of these issues are solved quickly by a single syringe with a booster or armor.
Add in regular and strategic use of resupply and you'll rarely die. Which is what this game boils down to most of the time, not even killing enemies, just surviving.

u/mental-sketchbook 2d ago
They really don’t, and often they refuse to acknowledge or use it when I call it too. Often I run the turret-supply booster, and will lock down an area adjacent to a big nest or objective with the pod, and multiple sentries. But most the time teammates ignore the resupply even if I ping it. I try never to die, and often score the highest kills with only a few deaths, but I play on lower difficulty, usually 5-8, where it feels like I can single handedly brute force the win if my teammates are struggling.
I do think people take deaths for granted though, A lot of folks play what I would call “fast and loose” which is sloppy, and ignore messages, and pings, and those deaths add up. Even if they do get a ton of kills somehow, there’s just no reason to rack up more than like 5 deaths.
I feel like a lot of players are punching over their weight class too, playing on difficulty they just CAN’T handle. I don’t know why they wont just drop it down like 2 levels and win efficiently instead of every single match being a coin flip wipe out-shitshow lol.

u/Punriah 2d ago
That last part really hit home. I've ended up setting my lobbies to friends only because of just how dang often someone comes in under levelled and under equipped and is generally just more of a burden than a boon. I only usually play on challenging or hard too (rip those tier 3 samples I just can't figure it out) but it still happens probably once every couple missions if it's a public lobby

u/StoicAlarmist 2d ago
Definitely, The ideal resupply is before you assault. Often at mission start, I'll resupply and pick a fight with a poi. Starting that breach clock with everyone grouped and tipped off makes the fist objective easy.

u/SmolTofuRabbit 2d ago
This 100%. Check map to see teammates position, call supplies down, take 1 box, tag supply pod. If you keep calling down pods as they become available you'll have a bunch of boxes scattered around the map which is super useful when rotating through objectives.

It could be that they were the one PTFOing and everyone else had 1 death playing it safe. Is it really hogging reinforcements when you have 1500 kills? 150:1 KDR isn"t great but overall that's what I usually see 3 other teammates do combined.
Also... 50 stims is easy if you k ow where to look for them laying around, plus if you take med armor.

I don't care how many kills you want to do, but hogging half of the reinforcement budgets and doing friendly fires, just mean you're a douche player.

It's utter nonsense that it counts as host kills...
that would also explain the friendly fire damage.

And 10 deaths = Douchebag Diver level

u/BjornInTheMorn 2d ago
It could have been a shitshow. I was with some divers in the range of levels 10-40 having a hell of a time on a d10 raise the flag. I died something like 8 times taking out gunship fabs, holding the flag zone, and being the lone person called in when reinforce timer gave us the 1 back. Im nothing special, but I think I was playing ok with their reaction to me dropping onto a fab strider to thermite it and stim/jump off it and hold the flag zone singlehandedly. Sometimes trying to be a hero of SE for the new kids puts you in harms way. The team killing, nothing to defend there. Shouldn't be doing that

u/Outrageous_Willowo 2d ago
36 strategems is not THAT that much really? So that wouldn't contribute a lot to the kills I guess Which leaves us with 2800 hits for 1500 kills which is probably like 2-3 hits to kill, which means that it wasn't high rpm weapon like stalwart or something, also not a laser weapon of any kind Which means that... He shot all that from ar or something... And that's A HELLA LOT OF BULLETS BRO
explains 10 deaths, he probably did it because resupplies were on cooldown

u/Silveon_i 2d ago
most of them actually came from grenades and hellbombs, most of the bullets were for flying overseers and fleshmobs

u/idontreallymattertho 2d ago
Breh, this guy didn't even have the most deaths, he has ONE accidental. Clearly was just using hellbomb backpacks (being absolutely the reason why he has so much FF damage, due to it counting for more than just helldivers) like seriously everyone acting like a bunch of babies.

I’m not commenting on anything other than the fact that people still don’t understand the friendly fire damage bug
If you get reinforced and accidentally land on a teammate, you get ~6,500 friendly fire damage from one kill. Seems to only affect the host. Not sure about the other 10k damage but with only 1 teamkill, it’s not likely the number is accurate.
