Warzone Firefight - Boss kills not getting credit

I really love Warzone Firefight, but I have an annoying issue that’s bothered me for quite a while. When dealing damage against an enemy Boss, sometimes I don’t receive credit for killing the enemy Boss, but my other teammates do. For example, when that boss is very low on health, and I’m firing my weapon/meleeing/etc. directly at them, sometimes it would then say “Teammates eliminated…” instead of “You eliminated…”

Very frustrating that despite me firing my weapon on a boss with very low health, my other teammates get credit for the kill and I don’t. 343i, please fix this. Thank you very much.

The only way to get the credit is to get the very last shot on the boss. You will know this when a red X appears on the final shot.

its been a problem since warzone firefight launch but if it doesn’t show it still counts so if you lost that round you probably didn’t finish in time

Yeah that is frustrating, but sometimes I am killed before the boss expires and I get credit for participating so i say it evens out. It is after all a team game.

Well that’s true if your talking about getting the kill towards the commendation like the warden or grunt mech. I think what the OP is talking about where you get no credit for shooting the boss not even an assist. Normally you will still get the boss takedown medal even if you didn’t get the final shot as long as you were damaging the boss before it got taken out

Not sure, but I think you need to get a certain percentage of damage on the boss to get credit. If you are killed, then you have to start that percentage again.

From my experience it seems to be random have had times shooting a boss for minutes and get no credit. Then other times only shoot a few bullets and get credit somehow. The point is it needs to be more consistent

It’s the last few that damage the boss. You can get it down to 10% health by yourself, but if you don’t get the hits in at the right time you don’t get credit.

I’ve had some game clips that show despite me hitting the enemy boss (either at all, or a weak point), I still don’t get the message “You eliminated…”, instead it shows “Teammates eliminated…” It’s quite frustrating that I’ve lost out on many points, or not receiving credit to a boss kill. I hope 343i fixes this.

In order to get credit for the ‘kill’ for commendations or the like; As flucknuckles said you have to get the last shot signified by the ‘red x’ over your crosshair. In order to get the boss medal you have to be one of the last couple of people to damage the boss. Originally those people got nothing, but the community asked for it to be a bit more open and 343 responded.

Like I said, I’ve still done that and yet I still don’t receive credit. It’s happened to me dozens of times. I wish the Theater Mode was working (that’s another issue, but I already saw it being addressed by others), otherwise I have a few saved clips.
