Weapons lock.

    Just an FYI, it seems you no longer get weapons locked, but instead suspended for an unknown period of time
    Source: Celebratory knife fight after a biolab fight. It was good fun though.

    So uh, be careful with it. Especially NC and Lasher users ;)

    How many 1000s of points of damage were you able to do first?

    Weapon lock was more of an urban legend anyway...

    Nope. As a nearly 2.5x auraxium Lasher user, weapons lock most definitely is a thing.

    Lashers, sticky 'nades, and AI MANA turrets almost seem to spawn in friendlies to damage at times.

    Maybe 8k? Was using activated Power knife, so uh, that's 8 stabbings.

    Who knows, maybe Lasher weapons lock and stabbing is different. Or perhaps stabbing the same guy is the reason.

    Or maybe it's a new grief prevention system due to the rise of some players who don't do anything except teamkill. Or an old system recently reactivated, similar to the system that auto suspends new players with far too high SPM.

    In any case, just wanted to let people know that there's potentially a much harsher punishment than weapons lock for excessive team killing, whether accidental or not.
