Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I was playing a match of warzone and a couple of teammates and I were completely unloading on a boss. Then all I hear is teammates have eliminated the… Like what the hell? It’s like I wasn’t even there. I got absolutely no credit for the takedown. This was not the first time that this has happened. Has anyone else been having this problem?
The very same thing has happened to me so many times…
It has become absolutely ridiculous. I could be the first member of my team to reach the boss and be there unloading mag after mag into this guy and still get no credit for the kill. It’s really frustrating.
Yes, I wish they were more transparent on warzone boss scoring, I think it is fine as is, but I would like to see the criteria. Que up the “you gotta take the last shot” posts. I have taken last shot and gotten no credit, and I have gotten killed before the last shot and have gotten credit.
Last shot gets credit for the kill, but I have no idea how the assist credit gets assigned. The legendary boss commendation is the only Warzone commendation I have left for the Mastery so I’ve been going after as many bosses as possible and paying closer attention to whether or not I get credit for it.
I mentioned in another thread the other day about how I was in a Mantis and started attacking the Warden when he was well over 50%. I continually launched rockets and bullets into his face until he died, my team got the kill, and I got no credit.
It needs to be looked at for sure. I should have the commendation finished by now for all the kills I didn’t get credit for but should have.
Your story is the perfect example of why it needs to be looked at. Hopefully they fix it soon.
agreed bro. I’m trying to win these Warzone games and eliminate the bosses so I can help my Spartan Company get Achilles. There were multiple times were I was stuck at the bottom of the leader board because it wasn’t rewarding me with the boss take-down medal. This is seriously frustrating and I am honestly shocked that 343 despite their laziness, haven’t fixed this.
It’s probably because you didn’t get the last few shots, your own team may have stolen you kill
I had the same thing happen. I’m glad the commendation includes boss assists, but I’m not even getting those sometimes.

Happened to me last night. Very odd.
The only enemy commendation I have yet to complete is the Warden Slayer (of which I’m in level 5/5). Lately, I have been focusing on Warden as much as possible; hitting him with scorpions, rockets, lasers, ultra banshees, and phaetons only to not receive the credit for the kill. Twice I have had the “Legendary Takedown” message appear on screen for the Warden, but after the game has ended I realize that the kill was not credited to my commendations. It is so incredibly frustrating and either needs to be looked at throughly or at the very least 343i needs to post some clear rules explaining what the game actually counts as a kill versus an assist.
Agreed. I’ve had so many times where this has happened. Like I’ll get a boss down to 10% health with my tank, and yet only my teammates who just arrived get credit. Its such BS.
Warden is also the last enemy I have left on commendations. My method this weekend was to fire an SMG into the Warden at the end. Twice this weekend though the Warden was killed by the ENEMY while I has halfway through dumping a full mag of SMG into him at close range. I guess they got in a shot BETWEEN my SMG rounds? Warden kills are basically luck. I’ve tried every strategy I can think of. I’ve gotten credit dumping a base saw clip on him, not gotten credit dumping “The Answer” saw into him, and stole a kill with a single DMR shot. I think it’s all luck.
This happens to me all the time. You either need to get the last shot, or be loading into him with everything you have without taking a break as the boss dies. I’m not kidding, if you take two seconds to reload, you can consider that commendation lost if the boss dies. I also think you miss out on the commendation if you’re too far away. The system for this needs to be looked at big tame. Hopefully 343 looks at this and takes it into consideration.
I am very curious as to the parameters for a boss kill. At times I don’t get credit when I more than deserved and other times I get credit when I did almost jack all to the boss. I’ve also had friends claim they’ve received credit for boss kills when they did nothing at all to hurt the boss. It definitely seems like a very wonky system.
I’m having a similar problem, or the enemy steals the kill.
Thanks guys. I’m glad I’m not the only one having this problem, but at the same time it sucks we are all going through it. Hopefully 343 looks into it and gets it fixed soon.

It feels random at times.
E.g, sometimes, I’m across the map from the boss and get the credit, even though I didn’t touch them when they were nearly dead (happens rarely)
or, I’m shooting him, I die, teammates kill him, and I get the credit (this is good, I like this)
Or, I get the last shot, but my team gets the credit.
Or I’m hammering him with everything, then the enemy puts one DMR cross map shot (banshee bosses for example) to get the credit and kill, I’ve done this myself. So my best advice for those of you who want Comms, only shoot at the boss when they are nearly dead and steal the kill, this is find is the most consistent way to get credit, even though you hardly worked for it. The enemy team can do all the damage, but that means nothing if you out the last shot or two into them. It’s also sometimes down to your connection.

Good advice. Thanks mate. And yes it does feel very random.
