Ordinance drop kills you? -.-

I know i’m not the only person that’s been killed by their ordinance drop (example would by my friend who was in the party/game when it happened to me). I have only died once by it but several other times it has brought my shields down to about halfway and sometimes it’s a big game changer cause an enemy might have you in their sight and kill you and take your ordinance (which has happened a few times out of those times that it’s brought my shields down). I’ve seen that ordinance drops in two different ways: 1. it just shoots down on maps that don’t have a roof (ex. Ragnarok where I died from it yesterday), and 2. it just appears in front of you (ex. Haven). Only the first method has found a way to work against me so far, so wouldn’t it be easier to just use one way? Or at least will the shield damage/kill issue be addressed?

I called one in Ragnarok yesterday but my team’s mantis walked in front of it. It didn’t kill the mantis but it was suspended in mid air out of reach. I had to have my team’s warthog drive next to it so I could jump off the hog to reach it haha.

Happened to me on Tuesday when I called in a Gravity Hammer on Solace. Shocked the hell out of me, my mouth just dropped. Even though it ruined my 10 kill streak, after the initial suprise I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a while.
I cant wait to kill a vehicle with it or some -Yoink-.

It can take out damaged vehicles. Gotta have good timeing and some luck, but it’s funny when it happens.

Try getting the Warthog stuck with it. I’ve done that.

I was wondering where it landed, so I get in the Warthog because I couldn’t find it and turns out it was stuck on the turret and I couldnt get the damn thing moving, I’m like what the hell?

Natural Selection. Cough

Team Ininity Slayer on Haven. My shields were stripped and my health damaged after taking care of my opponent. I thought I was safe then -blam-; Infinity thought I could use a needler, underground. They should have sent a medpack afterwards. The big kicker is it was a random drop.

ROFL… classic!

I wonder if you could use crappy drop choices as an orbital bomb…

I do know the one time I had pod land where I was just about to pick up a weapon and it nearly gave me a heart attack as I had my headphones on… talk about KABOOOOOOOOM!

I will agree with you iBoone that it was a little funny but still rather annoying to get hurt or killed by something that helps you. After hearing all this feedback I am definitely going to try to use it to my advantage on vehicles and people to see if it works.

Haha.

Give it time and eventually a montage will pop up of someone using there Ordinance Drops to get kills. :stuck_out_tongue:

I want to kill somebody with one.

I called one in and ran forwards to get close to where I expected it to land… I ended up getting a little too close.
My reaction was to just laugh and I ended up setting my friend off in a laughing fit trying to explain why I was laughing whilst laughing.
