If a player intentionally unloads a shotgun into an ally’s back or throws a Molotov at the team, the victim takes zero damage. Instead, the griefer will instantly take all of that damage themselves! It even accurately reflects special ammo—if an attacker shoots a teammate with incendiary ammo, the attacker will be the one lit on fire.
