Was it an enemy firing the missiles ?

You donGÇÖt understand Swarms very well. They donGÇÖt GÇ£LockGÇ¥ infantry. That does not mean they canGÇÖt kill infantry.

- If someone using a swarm launcher gets a lock and then terns and faces a wall before releasing them, they will hit the wall, explode, and kill the Swarm Launcher operator.

- If the thing you had a lock on is destroyed before you release the swarms, they become drumfire missiles if released before the ghost lock times out. You can shoot them at Infantry in this case. I have, although I missed.

- And finally, if an enemy Swarm Launcher is firing at a tank or turret or something and you stick your head in front of it and causes the missiles to explode prematurely by striking your body, then yes, you most certainly will die from it.

That would actually be cool to see. Imagine shooting at a LAV and red squad gets between your swarms and the LAV and gets blown away.

No, you can be killed by swarm launcher missiles if you run in front of them. Now you know! and knowing is half the battle!

Of course this doesn't mean it's not possible but I really doubt it. Would be great if a dev could confirm.

If you are in the splash radius, it will hurt you. Usually they only hit the sides of hills or buildings, but if you use them in close quarters it would be possible to have them hit a wall and catch some enemy infantry in the blast radius. You do have a point through. I am not sure if hitting an infantry directly would set them off, or if they would just push the infantry out of the way. I have killed myself with a Swarm Launcher when one of my missiles impacted the wall I was taking cover behind.

I understand swarms pretty well, I've specialised them since I got bored of HAVs early in E3 build. - My swarms tend to fly off towards my target, I've never tried to kill myself with them :-/ - If my target is destroyed I don't need AV anymore so I switch back to sidearm, otherwise it's a waste of ammo. - I've never seen this, but it's possible a swarm missile could impact a dropsuit, depends how it's coded, if it did it would hurt I imagine ... but lack of friendly fire would still see no damage, you can kill yourself with explosives, but not your team ... unless he's walked across the path of an enemy swarm launcher, without seeing him.

I don't how it happened exactly but I fired my swarms at the LAV and then it said I got a kill, but the LAV continued to drive away.

I have, although I missed. this is not true, they have launch phase before they are homing which means they fire straight out then are homing on to their locked target even if the vehicle is destroyed they are still locked on to them. this is why people fire up or the side to avoid hitting objects in their path and duck away from fire.

Xocoyol Zaraoul Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 394	Posted - 2013.06.27 21:56:00 - [20] - Quote Swarms can kill infantry. Literally the only difference between closed Beta swarms and release swarms is that in closed Beta they could fire without a lock, and now they can only fire with a lock. It is still a projectile, you just can't deliberately shotgun people with it anymore as it was one hell of a noob tube back in the day.
