Nah, people are -always- invulnerable while smokered/huntered, until they finish their "getting up" animation after being freed

[Puck]

Maybe this has been changed but on expert you should take FF damage while pinned. I know it has been like that.

[Sowelu]

Eh, there's a lot of good reasons for FF to be off in those circumstances.  One big reason is that dead bodies don't soak up bullets--so if two people both shot a smoker who had pulled someone to melee range, from behind, at the exact same time...one would hit the smoker, and the other would shoot through the dead smoker and blow away the teammate.  If you're using shotguns, that's like...instant incap.

[Yanlin]

Actually, dead bodies DO soak up bullets.

But it's still required for gameplay balance. Because nobody wants to be punished for helping a survivor.

I'm pretty sure they don't.  I've shot through dead bodies before many times.

[Yanlin]

Bullets go through stuff in case you didn't notice. But they don't go through stuff if it means hitting survivors. It's a gameplay mechanic.

waiwhat, i dont need to be careful with the piercing effect of the hunting rifle when it comes to FF? SCHWEET.

But my point stands. Im absolutely 100% positively sure, FF WAS ON when you hit incapped mates on expert. And I pray it still is, because its fun, aiming for the SI and not for your buddy.

[Yanlin]

No no no. REGULAR guns, when they pierce stuff they are supposed to pierce, don't pierce if there's a survivor on the trajectory. Hunting rifles work as normal as far as I know.

[Puck]

Man, this stuff is complicated

Incapped teammates can get hit by friendly fire.
Only smokered/huntered teammates have that temporary friendly fire immunity.

For clarification...


Either way, why are you aiming at your incapped teammate when you should be shooting over your incapped teammate?

EDIT:
I think we need to get our term definition straight....
incapped = incapacitated = down on the ground and can't get up...  yes/no?  (I say yes)

[Puck]

Alright with incapped I also meant pinned down by smokers/hunters.
