Consequences
Friendly Fire modifies the way players can engage in Aim & Shoot activities as part of Combat while playing Multiplayer Games with Teams. The risk of hitting team members, either other players or Companions, make Friendly Fire give more Challenging Gameplay while at the same time supporting Thematic Consistency - at least in games which try to simulate real world weapons. When optional, selecting Friendly Fire in Team-based games is one way of setting Difficulty Levels.
Friendly Fire can easily spark of Internal Rivalry in Teams, but also make it difficult to maintain the rivalry for a longer time since violence can end the conflict quickly.
