Guy here that said you need Sacrifice and the guy that posted the 2 screenshots one post down. During the double resource weekend I noticed something strange so I just did 2 tests, one in solo, one in a squad.

If you are in a squad: If you down yourself you go into bleedout and can revive yourself and Spare Parts will drop resources. No Sacrifice needed.

If you are solo: Downing yourself without Sacrifice will not put you in the bleedout state and you WONT get resources. But with Sacrifice you go into bleedout because your sentinel attempts to revive you and if you either let your sentinel revive you or chose to manually respawn you WILL get the resources.

So I assume whatever DE did to "fix" this it only triggers the "self-damage" flag if you dont go into bleedout. Since farming with Spare Parts is vastly more efficient in a squad you dont need Sacrifice but it could still serve some use for the socially inept/solo players.

Source: Me, just now.

Source 2: Me, during double resource weekend.

Source 3: Me, 15 days ago.

Source 4: Guy above me.

PS: Forgive the overlinking of Sacrifice but the blue text does look nice.
