This was bs i planted a grenade on a mantis and after i plant it and jump off, he was able to eject. He is to go down with his vehicle and die like how it has always been.
Basically, when a vehicle is detonating, there is a moment when all the armor falls off followed half a second later by the death of the pilot.
So if you’re playing on a team and being boarded, if your team shoots you incessantly during the second phase, the most recent damage results in friendly fire which can’t damage the pilot, allowing him to live.

Can you hop into a custom game with someone and re-create the events?
If so, than they added this recently, and likely it’s isolated to the Mantis because it has nearly 0 defense against boarding.
If not, then it was a de-syncing issue and someone was about 2-3 seconds off server timing.

That works in Warzone with friendly fire off. Maybe not in BTB with FF on.

From what i got in a reply from the person that did this is he said when an enemy is boarding the mantis, the animation part, you have to press it within that time zone. if you press it, its like a pending eject. once grenade is planted and the enemy hopes off you will eject as well. therefore avoiding a grenade death. i would like to recreate this if anyone is interested to see if this is truly the case. if so it’s a big exploit to avoid being killed in a vehicle or at least the mantis.

well i want to test to see that he isn’t just making it up so it is more accurate.

it sucks. that was my mantis kill i should have gotten out of it. i died before trying to board him and finally when it doesn’t bs me, before i was right next to him n wouldn’t give me the boarding option, he just ejects out after a plant a grenade.
