Notes
- Friendly Fire 1 can stack with Friendly Fire 3.
- The heal effect can also restore limb condition.[verified]
- Update 25 expanded the list of weapons capable of taking advantage of this perk. Previously, only the Flamer and Shishkebab worked.
- Per the perk's description, thrown explosives, such as Floater flamer grenades or Molotovs, are not intended to proc the heal effect.
Bugs
Friendly Fire is supposed to have a HUD notification Vault Boy popup, but it is flagged to be hidden.[verified]- The Hellstorm missile launcher with Napalm payload mod will not proc the effect, despite dealing fire damage.[verified]
- Molotov cocktails currently apply the heal effect to NPCs.[verified]
