Area of effect gadgets (Cap, Fuze, Smoke,etc) should NEVER have RFF activated on them and should ALWAYS harm teammates as they are easily abused if teammates can stand in them with no punishment

Hey Shadow -- the explosives that will change in Season 2 refers to the generic gadgets that result in an explosion rather than the unique operator gadgets. Sorry about the confusion!

Apologies if it's in the patch notes somewhere but is there any trigger to the devs if a player gets repeat RFF activations? Something that's like "this guy activates RFF every game, we need to investigate this player" ?

We still are keeping the original TK sanction system in place and multiple activations of RFF still get tagged and reported to us. Which we can then investigate and follow-up on.

Are you forced to close the game when this happens and will it let you rejoin the match?

Can you start customer games or T-Hunts on these map?

Hello Everyone!

Reverse Friendly Fire (RFF) is coming to the live servers tomorrow (this now being today). When a player abuses the friendly fire mechanic to grief their teammates, this system is activated. We believe that this first version will be a positive step forward in our fight against team killing while maintaining the same intensity and high stakes gameplay that is core to the Rainbow Six Siege experience.

The Y4S1 release of RFF is not our final version of the system. Future iterations and improvements will continue based off data and player feedback.

Community feedback so far has been invaluable and allowed us to make early iterations to the system. For example, RFF can now activate based on total friendly damage. In these cases, there is no validation screen for the offending player’s teammates. We are also striving to make it clearer how operators and gadgets will react to this system. We have consolidated some guidelines be... Read more

Sorry about that. I made it without being able to spend too much time on it and am guilty of copy/pasting that part. >.< It was a lot of information I had to try and condense, but I will try to make future ones more readable.

one more thing , is reverse friendly fire is available as an option in custom matches ?

I believe it should be. It'll be turned off by default but you can toggle it in custom.

Sorry i didnt see it. But how much damage is dealt to activate the rff?

We didn't say. I don't believe we intend to release the algorithm behind it either.

"Mounted LMG (Tachanka; regardless of who’s using the turret)" so does that mean that if someone teamkills with my turret I get penalized, that sounds easly abusable.

Edit: Also if I die and an attacker memes on me and kills a teammate with my turret am I still the one getting penalized? Also, if RFF is on for me already and an attacker kills a teammate with my turret and I am still alive somewhere, do I die for that too?

The player using Tachanka's Mounted LMG will receive the damage.

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like it wasn't a general issue. This is a problem that the team is aware of and investigating. Info such as your data center and what kind of symbols are being seen just assist the team with their investigation.

I'm sorry to hear that you ran into this frustrating server issue. What data center do you connect to, and did you notice any symbols pop up right before the disconnection occurred?
