Planetside: Either getting cut off during a retreat because I'm wounded, or because I'm trying to escort the wounded... in both cases those deaths are usually attributed to shitty engineers and lack of team play from PFCs

Shipside; generic death by unga charge

Xenos and a mix of my fucking need to chase my fellow marines that are getting dragged off. If I hear a scream and slashing I'm quick to chase. Early on it doesn't spell my doom. Especially if we're near the landing zone/FOB. If we're pushing into xeno territory though and I chase I'm normally facing not just the one dragging a marine but also the one that was behind it.

Xeno insta stun then dragged and killed.

FF happens a bit but rarely kills me unless I am a goner anyway. Mostly I get hit and make it back behind the lines and get surgery.

Sometimes FF, but most of the time I get stun spammed, and dragged away, then eaten, and get nested.

Actually I wanna add acid cloud. If you get hit dead on thats an instant gg no re.

I'd put ravager with friendly fire. It hurts often but it mostly likely leaves me injured but rescued to get healed
