In war zone when I’m fighting a boss, my teammates come over and help. That’s good. But when we kill the boss some one on my team gets the kill even though I was shooting at the boss the most. Why can’t we have boss assist’s if you help the team take out the boss? The only time you get the actual kill is when an x appears around your recticle. A boss assist would grant you half the points you get when you kill a legendary or normal boss.

The points you get for killing a boss in Warzone go to your Team. So your team is getting all the points for the kill… what do assist points have to do with this?
Warzone is suppose to be team oriented so I’m not sure where you are going with this.

your right… but then there is commendations for getting the ‘kill’ on legendary bosses. So they are not team orientated. Plus your scored individually in a team game.
I think the takedown points and individual points are different though.
You are misinformed about the mechanics.
As far as I can tell, it goes something like this: The team that gets the kill shot on the boss gets the points for that boss. The player who gets the kill shot gets the Boss Takedown medal which boosts the Req level and personal score, but some players on his/her team who participate in killing the boss also get the Takedown medal, Req level boost and increase to their personal score. While the exact mechanics for this are murky and some people claim it is bugged/broken so it doesn’t always give it out fairly, it seems like it is the person who got the kill shot maybe two other teammates if they each did a significant amount of damage to the boss before it died. I also suspect there is a time factor, as in the case where you do 95% of the damage to the boss before getting killed or distracted and then the boss survives for X amount of time after you stop damaging it before your teammates come back and kill it. In that case, I don’t believe you get the medal.
I have gotten the Takedown medal plenty of times when I clearly even haven’t gotten the kill shot, and I’ve even gotten it when I died before the boss did. Once or twice it has even popped up after I respawned. So, you know, there was no way I could have gotten the kill shot. If you aren’t getting the medal after the boss dies, most likely you didn’t do as much damage as you thought. “Shooting the boss the most” doesn’t mean you are doing the most damage if you are using an ineffective weapon.
If you open the scores after a boss kill, you’ll notice that usually at least a couple people are getting the credit for it, which suggests to me that there clearly is a mechanic for ensuring that teammates who work together to take down a boss get the Takedown medal and personal points, but I’m not entirely sure how it works. Does anybody have better info than me?

As far as I can tell, multiple people get the commendation for the kill too, you get it when you get the medal and you can definitely get the medal even if you don’t score the last shot. I don’t have a good grasp of how the mechanic works, but there is one that attempts to give credit for boss kills to multiple members of the team that gets the last shot.
Edit: If you look at the description for the Boss Takedown and Legendary Takedown medals, they are awarded to players who “Participate in the Boss Takedown.” Not the player who kills the boss. How the game determines who “participated” is where things are vague
Get in the boss point is luck of the draw , it only matters what shot registers last on the hit points of the boss , I’ve killed plenty of bosses, and have plenty of assists , and had plenty of kill stolen by other teams probably shot of the same boss almost as much is me and my team. It’s just the luck of the draw .

This can’t possibly be true, because multiple players get the credit for killing bosses all the time

The commendation is for getting or assisting in a legendary boss takedown
Maby grant a few more people the warden takedown medal …its hard enough to get.
Closing out that warden commendation is tres difficult, with no guarantee that your participation will “merit” the kill. Even with that, I am still ok with the system. As others have stated, sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.
I’m sort of surprised at the amount of confusion about this mechanic. To reiterate, you get credit for Boss Takedowns for either getting the last shot or assisting in the kill of a boss your teammate gets the last shot on in a meaningful way (IE doing a bunch of damage in the lead up to the kill). The exact mechanism for how participation is determined is not clear, but you don’t have to get the last shot to get the Takedown medal or points for the kill

Even though warzone is team oriented, you want to get those req levels up to gain access to power weapons to dominate an enemy team. That is helping the team. But you also need to get boss kills to not only help your team, but get commendations for boss kills. Also I still don’t understand how you get the boss kill and die before it dies.
