I’ve had a few warzone games now where I have done things and not been credited the kill or an assist, yet I do little and get a kill.
For example, I have assassinated the Warden Eternal and finished the animation, but instead of me getting the kill despite the chunk of health he had left, it was awarded to team mates, or where I do 90% or so damage to a legendary boss, but I die and shortly after another person comes along and finishes it off, but I get no reward.
Other times in reverse I have say shot a boss about 5 - 15 seconds before he dies, and I get the kill despite others clearly having killed them. Or lately I arrived to where a boss fight was happening whilst driving a normal mongoose. I get off the mongoose and do no damage, I get the takedown medal.
In all is this intentional or is it still a bit bugged out?
Whoever lands the final shot, earns the kill. It’s highly likely that someone yoinked your assassination a few frames from completion, which awarded them the kill. This is by design to make the game more casual (as the other team can effectively “steal” the kill if the area is not fully under your control).
I do dislike that dying prevents you from getting a shiny support medal for your sacrifice however. But in the end, the points don’t really matter, I’m sure everyone knows you did most of the work bringing them down and they’re grateful (even if they don’t say it or notice).

The point I am making, is that it’s giving the kill to people who are not landing the final shot or hit though. That’s the issue
I’d like to update this in that I have also at least assassinated and killed Warden eternal at least once and assisted in killing him at least once. Yet the medals for both killing and assisting in killing the warden eternal have never popped up.
I would like to add something that has happened to me 4 days ago. So there was the warden and a bunch of people around him. Enemies and friends.
Problem at this point I only had an MP ( no ammo at my other weapon )
So I shot at his back and meleed it. Ofc I was killed. So while waiting for my respawn suddenly someone killed the boss and I got the kill ( u was dead for 8! Seconds!) so I got a kill though NOT hitting the boss for 8-9 seconds … Well done 343!
