I knock a player, team mate steals kill, should give me the kill

In Apex Legends I knock a player, team mate steals kill, should give me the kill

  • It does do that already.

    The one who downs the enemy gets the kill unless the enemy gets back up.

    that's exactly how it works. that's why if you care about stats start caring about Damage Delt. 

  • @coyotekins is right.

    If you knock someone down, and then someone else finished him, he only gets the assist, but you get the kill.

    If you didn't, it means you didn't knock him, you are the assist.

  • Pretty much what others said. It works exactly like other Battle Royales - the person that downed the player is the one that gets the kill. If you didn't get it, then someone or something else had to deal the final hit - be it teammate, the zone or even his own explosives. Or the downed player got revived in the meantime or revived himself with the golden knockdown shield. To be fair, in a big gunfight, confusion regarding who got the kill can happen due to kill/knock prompt being out of line of sight (thankfully; I don't think anyone would want it to obscure vision), so I can see why it can be confusing.

    But if you knock him and another team is coming and shoot the down player dead then they can steal the kill from you😉 But as more people say don't care much about kills but at damage. I killed 390 people and did 102000 damage. So i know a lot of kills are stolen but i dont care. Tbf i hope they bring out a duo, thet randoms in this game are most of the time a pain in the ...

    I don't have a ton of issues with randoms but I communicate a ton and am generally a decent human being.

    my team mate was knocked there were two guys looting him. I knocked both and then pocked up my team mate. finished them off and I got no kill credit. That has to be a bug
