Hello all
Does anyone know why, no matter how much I damage it, if a boss gets away from me for 5 seconds and gets killed by someone else, I don’t get credited with any points whatsoever? I’ve had many experiences where I take a boss down to almost no health, and it turns a corner just long enough for someone else to kill it and I get no points.
Also, if someone else has asked this question before, please leave an answer before you lock my post, thank you forum staff.
You need to have done damage to the boss near the end of it’s life. I don’t know exactly how long you have before it dies to damage it, but it doesn’t seem that long. Similarly, if you’re going for commendations such as grunt mech or warden kills you need to be the final person to damage the boss otherwise it will not count. I think a better way to do this may have been to award the boss takedown to whoever does the most damage, but oh well.
You’ll know that you’ve got credit for a boss kill (or any kill for that matter) when you landed the killing blow and have a red “x” appear in your crosshairs.

I think for H6 they need to give partial credit if you deal a certain percentage of boss health damage, but don’t get the kill. I’ve had many occasions like the OP where I did the most damage and got the boss to almost no health, but I ended up dying before the kill and didn’t get any credit. Then you have the leachers that just shoot the boss for a miniscule amount of time right before it dies and they get full credit.
WZ is rubbish for not factoring in damage dealt by specific players. Instead it only counts who got the last blows in. If you killed the boss you’ll get a red takedown medal or if you were too early/late you’ll get a yellow assist medal. Everyone knows it’s a crummy way to handle it, but it is what it is.
I once was the only one that killed the Warden Eternal, and I didn’t get crap.
From my experience, boss killing system is stupid, luck, and sometimes just outright doesn’t work.
It seems you need to damage it right before it dies, which, straight off from the start is a stupid decision.
Load a selene’s lance into a Phaeton boss, die, and then someone else pops it later with a BR and you don’t get credited. I always thought it should be based on last shot AND damage done, but that’s just my opinion. And then, sometimes, I’ll be in a tank or something, shoot a few shots on a boss just as it dies, and don’t get credited. Sometimes, I’ll load into the boss back-to-back without dying, the whole damn time, get some last shots on and don’t get credited. It’s flawed, and frankly it’s outright dumb at some times.

Try doing a sufficient amount of damage to a boss and you should get the points for the kill

its not point based unfortunately, I’ve gotten a phaeton pilot (the legendary firefight boss) down to about 5% health, but it hid behind a rock just long enough for it to get hit by a spartan laser and not award me a single point, even though I’ve gotten it to extremely low health alone and it was shot down by a teammate.

Really? I’ve been in a similar situation and I’ve gotten the points

depends on how long between the time of damage and the time of death
