On the Abandoned Assembly level of the Ironclaw Munitions Factory, there seems to be an area of floor which deals heavy damage to the player while standing on it. Specifically here: http://i.imgur.com/ErvZl.jpg

Yesterday, whilst attempting the floor solo it killed me twice. Obviously it's an area with missiles, a spike trap and a Sparky shooting at me so it's pretty dangerous anyway. I chalked it up to super carelessness. Today, it got me again. Again playing solo, I had full health and my shield up and walked cautiously out taking care to dodge everything. One hit from something I never saw took my shield down and my HP to 1 bar. Another finished the job. Perplexed that I'd had the same issue in the same spot two days running, I revived and carried on. Once I'd taken down the Sparkies and turned off the rocket launchers I wandered back down to investigate the area. Standing in the same spot, my character just dropped in a single hit from no visible attack. I can assure you it wasn't the spikes, neither was it lag, the rest of the gate played flawlessly.

Since it's happened twice now (killed me 4 times, in fact), I'd say the bug is reproducible. Could someone investigate this area because something funny's happening there?

Did you happen to go solo at the start of that level? Going solo while things are exploding can sometimes cause insta-death glitches like that.

Yeah, that'd be it. I've been grouping up down to IMF then going solo at the start so people don't explode me. Was taking damage in the same spot yesterday, too, but I ran through fast enough that it didn't kill me. Strange that it's just that one place, halfway through the level.

Rocket AOE Damage

Another thing to note is that the rockets have an area of effect damage or you can also call it an explosion damage. The rockets do not need to hit you but if they explode, they do damage what is around them. From the picture you posted, I don't remember the exact details but there may be rockets that hit and explode on the left and right walls right next to the wall. If standing down there in the box, you will get damaged if near the exploding rockets.

There are, and that's why I initially dismissed it. I assumed I had taken too much splash damage. As I already mentioned, the problem persists once the rockets have been switched off later in the level so it can't be solely attributed to that.

I have seen a glitch where explosions seem to happen invisibly when you go solo (or removed from a party). It is really annoying, but I've never seen it happen when running through the levels normally.

I have seen this before, even made a video on youtube (already deleted since I could never reproduce the issue). Area where you instantly drop when you walk into it. Same level, but the very start. Not sure about anyone going solo on that one, me and my mate walked into that area several times in a row and died instantly, no damage taken.
Sad to hear this bug is still killing knights. In my case the area was next to break-able (respawning) blocks which infinitely exploded right upon respawning. Walking into that area also instantly killed player (no warning, no damage, no 1 hit, no falling animation, you're just DEAD instantly).
Fortunately (for me) I could never reproduce it - most of the time I play solo.
