Kill Steal

A kill steal, or KS, occurs when a killing hit is scored on a player by a third party formerly uninvolved in the fight, thus claiming the entirety of the kill and awarded points. Although present, kill stealing is found to be generally neglible in mainstream FPS team deathmatches, or in the case of SWBF2, conquest and CTF modes.

In the context of SWBF2 hero assault, a kill steal is far more distict. In hero assault, the killing of the victim is commonly preceded by the stunning of the victim. Therefore, a KS occurs when a player other than the player responsible for stunning the victim finishes off the victim. KS is a common practice in NF-HA FFA and is rarely prohibited in public NF-HA servers. KS is, however, prohibited in most public force servers, prominently (SWGO) Hero Assault.
