[Stabby Badger]

Basically, the backfire damage component of sabotage skill for the Quarian Infiltrator does not seem to count for damage AT ALL.  I noticed that I was not seeing notifications for my sabotage kills in my last game, so once it ended I started up a solo match out of curiosity.  After five waves of killing cerberus with nothing but sabotage, I was not awarded any points, any medals (or whatever they call the bonuses like 50 kills or 5 headshots that you get little badges for after the match), no ANYTHING.

I don't know if it would matter, but my sabotage is specced with backfire damage, recharge speed, and tech vulnerability.

Kinda strange, but yes, pretty much this has been the case since day one. What's interesting is that if you shoot the enemy, you get the points, so it's sort of like when an Atlas explodes and kills nearby enemies; unless you actually damage them before the explosion, nobody gets the points. They just die.

I guess it's because Sabotage is theoretically not damage being done by the player, but damage caused to enemies by their own weapons. Of course, we still get points for Sabotaging a Geth or Atlas or Cerberus turret when they manage to damage something for us, so I don't know why the backfire damage is any different.

I've also noticed that there is no notification in MP of deaths from backfire. I think it should show just like deaths from warp or some such.

I did exactly the same tests as you did. I noticed that there was no notification in mutlplayer and decided to play a solo private match. While I cannot confirm that I did not get points, it was clear there was no notification. I think deaths from backfire damage should be credited to sabotage.
