A '''Roadkill''' is a term commonly used to describe an animal or animals that have been struck by a motor vehicle. In the [[Battlefield series|''Battlefield'' series]], it is used to classify a type of player death who have been hit by an oncoming vehicle, whether it be land, sea or air.

==Overview==
In most ''Battlefield'' games, a roadkill happens when a player comes into contact with a fast-moving vehicle, enemy or not, including allied vehicles on Hardcore. Roadkills can be done by any vehicle, which includes air vehicles. For most civilian vehicles without weapons, roadkill is their only method to kill others.

Because roadkills from neutral vehicles are more accidental in nature, they have appropriate non-standard [[killcam]] messages. (e.g. "Bad Luck"). Enemies are credited with the kill if they're responsible for it.

Vehicles take damage from crashes by other vehicles, and vehicles can be roadkilled if they don't survive the damage. Occupants of a smaller, light-armored vehicle (i.e. an ATV) can be crushed and killed by a larger vehicle, such as an MBT, if they collide at high speed. An air vehicle can crash another air vehicle at high speed. Though the surviving vehicle will suffer from damage due to impact.

Abandoned or destroyed vehicles can also commit roadkill if their fast moving remnants hit enemies, and the kill is award to their former driver.

==Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam==
In ''[[Battlefield 1942]]'' and ''[[Battlefield Vietnam]]'', the kills are semi-difficult to achieve as a single impact from a vehicle may not directly kill a player, more so the constant ramming into them will eventually kill them. When killed, the kill will be classified as '''killed'''.

== Battlefield 2 ==
In {{BF2}}, roadkills are credited to the vehicle used during the kill. Roadkills are counted towards a player's statistics under a separate section in [[BFHQ]]. Roadkills with a transport vehicle are necessary to qualify for the Veteran and Expert Transport [[Badges (Battlefield 2)|Badges]].

==Battlefield: Bad Company==
In ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]'', the player can get the "Transport Vehicle Patch" series by getting a number of "Transport Vehicle Trophy" and 2 roadkills. The player can also achieve the "Fly-by" wildcard by getting four roadkills with air vehicles in a round.

==Battlefield: Bad Company 2==

Roadkills are similarity obtained in ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]''. The player can earn the [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Achievements and Trophies|achievement/trophy]] "Airkill" in ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'' by Roadkilling an enemy with a helicopter or UAV.

==Battlefield 3==
Roadkills in ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' are obtained similar to ''Bad Company 2''. If a player gets a roadkill with [[Skid Loader]] on either [[Wake Island 2014]] or [[Gulf of Oman]], they will receive the "Like A Boss" [[Battlefield 3 Achievements and Trophies|achievement/trophy]].

==Trivia==

===Bad Company 2===
* When inside a heilcopter, if a player jumps out, they may be "roadkilled" by the vehicle's rotors.

===Battlefield 3===
*The [[EOD Bot]] and [[MAV]] gadgets are also capable of roadkills. After the 1.04 (March 2012) patch, the MAV can still be used for a single roadkill, but will be destroyed upon contact and the reason of death in the killfeed is "KILLED". However, due to a glitch the MAV may survive and be fully operational, with the reason of death being actually "MAV".
*Using the [[M224 Mortar]] will inexplicably ''spare'' its user from being roadkilled, as well as provide protection against [[takedown]]s. (Technically, the user is considered to be inside a vehicle.)
*A player can go prone before being run over by any enemy tank and will survive unharmed if they do this in the middle of the tank's path.
*Unlike in previous games, the reason of death in the killfeed for a roadkill is the name of the vehicle instead of "killed" or "roadkill".
