The shooter from Riot Games is a classic representative of the genre, where two teams fight each other in turns on the offensive and defensive sides. That is why, as in many other games, Valorant has the ability to damage not only enemies but also allies. So today we'll tell you how Friendly Fire works in Valorant and what skills can harm your teammates.

What is Friendly Fire

First, let's remember that Friendly Fire is a term used when damage is inflicted on your allies. Damage can be inflicted by a shot, a skill, and regardless of whether it happened accidentally or on purpose.

In Valorant, it is also possible to damage allies, but it works a little differently. The fact is that with regular shots from any weapon, you cannot harm your teammates. However, skills are a completely different matter. Many agents have grenades, fireballs, and other abilities that can damage not only enemies but also allies. Below you can see a list of agents and skills that can accidentally cause Friendly Fire.

• Brimstone – Incendiary (420 damage in 7 seconds)
• Killjoy – Nanoswarm (180 damage in 4 seconds)
• Phoenix – Hot Hands (195 damage in 3.25 seconds) and Blaze (240 damage in 7 seconds)
• Raze – Paint Shells (1-55 damage depending on distance), Showstopper (30-150 damage depending on distance)
• Brimstone – Aftershock (160 damage over 2 activations)
• KAY/O – FRAG/ment (100-240 damage depending on radius in 4 seconds)
• Gekko – Mosh Pit (75-150 damage depending on radius in 3 seconds)
• Vyse – Razorvine (10 damage for every 1.2 meters the character walks through the spikes)
• Tejo – Guided Salvo (150-195 damage depending on radius in 2 seconds), Armageddon (240 damage for 4 hits in 4 seconds)

With all of the above skills, you can harm and kill your allies, so we recommend being careful not to get blocked.

What are the penalties for Friendly Fire

Finally, let's tell you what will happen if you frequently harm and kill your teammates. First, note that the system checks every complaint, and if you accidentally hit an ally once or twice, nothing will happen to you.

However, if you continue to do so systematically, you will face severe punishment. For example, you decide to joke with a teammate or punish a toxic player. To do this, you corner them and use Phoenix's Hot Hands or Brimstone's Incendiary under your feet. As a result, you both die. In this case, you may be reported for Disrespectful Behavior and Sabotaging the team. Aft
