kill_feedSee example belowWhen information is presented on the game’s UI (top right corner).130.0

kill_feed notes

The following properties are provided:

  • local_player_name
  • attackerName
  • victimName
  • weaponName
  • action

Event data example

{"events":[{"name":"kill_feed","data":"{"local_player_name":"Shargaas","attackerName":"shayan3200", "victimName":"i999n","weaponName":"alternator","action":"knockdown"}"}]}

"Bleed Out" note

The weaponName can return with a "Bleed Out" value. For example:

"events": [{
    "name": "kill_feed",
    "data": {
        "attackerName": "Red_Wizard19TTV",
        "victimName": "SoSochek_1337",
        "weaponName": "Bleed Out",
        "action": "Bleed Out"
    }
}]

"Bleed Out" is when something "external" kills you, which is not an enemy player.
For example, if you are knocked out already, and you are outside of the safe zone, your HP automatically depletes, and when it reaches zero, and you die, you will Bleed Out, and the weaponName and action will return with the "Bleed Out" value. The same rules apply for the "Caustic" legend gas barrels; if they kill you, you also receive a "Bleed Out."
