So i’ve been a part of killing 5 grunt mechs in warzone recently. my total is still 0/10 for the commendation. i’ve even gotten the medal for the kill. any thoughts?
Did you get the grunt kill medal or the boss kill medal? Even if you get the boss kill medal it doesn’t necessarily mean you were the one to “kill” the boss. The player responsible for delivering the killing blow gets the credit for the commendation. You can tell if you got commendation credit by seeing if you are awarded a grunt kill medal along with a boss kill medal. The easiest method I recommend is spawn the tier 2 plasma pistol and pepper the canopy with shots. It changes color from blue to red and eventually it will pop and you can headshot the grunt out of the mech for an insta kill no matter his health. Other weapons like the Spartan laser, brute plasma rifle, and ghost cannons are also capable of dropping the energy canopy, but I prefer to use the plasma pistol because they are common and disposable.

You need to get last hit on it (the killshot)
Grunt mechs work a bit weird. The short story is that you need to get the grunt kill medal which is the kill shot. This makes it much harder but there are ways to make it easier.
You can either wait until the mech is weak and blast it with a scorpion for the final hit OR my preferred method which is to destroy the shield with plasma weapons and headshot the grunt inside - this method is much quicker than trying to destroy it with vehicles.
Firefight is the best way to get this commendation. Grunt mechs are super common.
When it comes to this commendation, the boss takedown medal is a bit misleading as it’s both given from killing the boss and assisting in killing the boss. There exist 2 main methods to verify a boss kill and the first is that kill marker appears in your reticle when you receive the boss takedown medal. The second method is that you will both get the boss takedown medal and a grunt kill medal.
Confirming for you what others have noted:
- You need to land the killshot - This will be noted if you see the medal for a Grunt kill, not only the boss takedown - Best way to get is is by popping the energy canopy off and headshotting the grunt inside - best to be on the side of the mech for a clear shot, not in front or behind.
