I ask this because someone (possibly Jack Drake) posted a log in newbie mc5 and it had new people killing themselves with the grenade launcher theyd been given to start the game.
If this is part of a bigger plan then obviously I will wind my neck in but it seems to me that if new players are still given AOE weapons as a starter, damage to self would be much easier on them if it was 75% instead. Alternatively give the newbs a direct fire weapon might help?
