Friendly Fire
Some effects may require Vault Hunters to defend against attacks from other Vault Hunters, such as when a grenade with Explosive Crits goes off. They defend as if it were an enemy attacking them. The attack's Strength is equal to attacking Vault Hunter's roll (with modifiers such as Skill).

Page 19
The rules for what applies to Sidekicks and Vault Hunters were mixed (like gaining the Spotlight and targeted by enemies). The rules for Sidekicks were updated so each section is separated.

Vault Hunters may buy things before and after a Bounty.

The Vault Hunter does not have to move toward the enemy you are attacking, and can even move away from the enemy if you wish.

Rapid [X]: Rapid actions allow you to take the same action X times without using additional Action tokens.

If you roll a Fumble during a Rapid attack it only affects that action. Each of the Rapid actions is resolved separately (each is a separate roll).
