Emptying a full gun onto a boss.
Or hitting it multiple times with a scorpion.
And not even getting an assist.
Its especially irritating when you were first to the boss, and we’re hitting it the whole time.
But no kill?!!?
Should have shot the infinite reinforcements, than shot the boss with two br shots near death.
(Like everyone else, and I would get the kill)
I took a boss down to about 1/3 health, alone, with a Mantis and then some guy shoots it once with a laser. Guess who didn’t get the credit for the kill?
For some reason, I can barely scratch some bosses and get credit, but others not so. From what I read, originally you needed to do a pretty large % of the boss’es health to get credit for it, and then they reduced that to just 1 or 2 %… But did that carry over to Firefight too? If so then that’d explain a lot, but it still feels almost random 
It seems more frequent on flying bosses or warden not counting.
There needs to be more conditions that earn a kill.
Most damage.
Most time spent engaging.
Most shots landed, (4/5 automatic shots count.)
Hit boss last 10% of hp.
Not to be that guy but the technical term is a magazine not clips.
Nope, clip IS the removable part.
That holds ready to load ammo.
The magazine is what you insert the clip into.(permanent part of the gun)

Feel you. I once hit a banshee with 4 rockets + a magazine of DMR, and I didn’t get credit for it…

Actually just to follow up and turn this thread into something completely different, magazine and a magazine well are the proper terms. A clip is a separate gun “mechanism” piece that hearkens back to the M1 Grande from WWII and is typically the easiest way to recognize a “clip”. The clip was a piece of metal in some form that you slid the bullets into and then inserted into the weapon (still a magazine or magazine well), the difference is the clip would auto eject (typically) and be unusable after that. If you’ve ever watched a WWII movie you’d hear the “ping” of the ejection, that’s what that sound is when they used an M1. A magazine comes with a mechanism that allows for reloading. Clips are still used today to load magazines though funny enough.

On to actually responding to the thread. I feel that pain. Would start the rounds on Urban doing tons of damage to the hunters that typically start the game. Would get a track and killed by a beam and then not make it back in time and loss all credit for the kill even I had put all four mags into the damn thing.
I’ve been noticing more issues with kill credit since the update, and not just with bosses either. Firing point blank with a couple of other people at a mob of grunts / crawlers, and walk away with nothing, sometimes not even assists. Other times I get all the kills
The worst is getting killed right before it dies after putting in the most damage and still getting nothing. It is bad enough dying, but not even getting the takedown makes it that much worse

Dude…noooooooo…
Yeah, I know your pain bro. And just to add insult to injury cause why not, 343 acknowledged this and they think it’s funny.
When this happens to me it is complete BS
Ya, and today it seems to be worse
This happens more often than I’d like, especially when I call in something expensive or waste a lot of time >_< The worst part is in firefight were it’s not so much about the points but trying to get Req levels up to something viable in the later rounds.
