Sick of this. My last 2 games of WZFF I joined Match in progress. Literally at the start of round 1. One of the games had not even had a shot fired yet. I ranked 3rd in the game, but no boost reward because apparently “I hadn’t pulled my weight by not completing a full game”.
Both times…and both were spawned in round 1.
So frustrating, and it’s not the players choice to join a MIP. So we should be awarded the boosts
This is why as soon as I choose I’m playing Firefight, I put my boost on. When the game locks you in that you’re joining in progress, it locks in whether you have a boost on or not.

^^ This is something people don’t tend to know. To be fair though, If I join in progress at a round 1 to maybe round 3, I’ll just quit out. If it’s round 4 or 5 I’ll stay to get the xp payouts since it’s only like a few mins of a game.

Thanks for mentioning this. Boost payouts have always been inconsistent for JIP matches and I did not understand why that was until I read your post.
Is this suggesting that I may of spent too long selecting my boost during the loading menu?
If you want to avoid joining games already in progress, try sending invites to people after a match is over. You rarely join a match in progress when in a party with other players. Otherwise, do what g bomb said above and put on a boost as soon as you begin searching for a match.
