No kill credit after squad eliminated??

@Marge010 I thought that you no longer get credit for kills/assists once your whole team is dead and you start spectating? Then the kill goes to whoever finishes/kills the players? I cant remember, because the people I knock as I get knocked, usually get rez'd before my randoms can do anything productive

@dSKyNafinchin You don't get kill credit when your whole squad is dead. The kill only goes to whoever finishes your downed player if you have left the game. If you're still watching then the finisher doesn't get kill credit, nobody does.

@Marge010 Because you didn't kill them. You downed them.

@hayhor If you down an enemy and someone else kills them, you get kill credit if your squad is still alive. You don't have to kill an enemy to get kill credit

@Marge010 Because your team is alive. If your whole squad is dead you are not in the game any more.

@hayhor That's not what I'm asking. Nevermind

@Marge010 I'm confused, Lmao

I'm trying to understand the question. For your first point, you mentioned that it happens "if you're still watching the squad that killed you and haven't left the game". I believe the "Eliminated" that pops up when you're spectating, would be indicating that the person you are spectating got the elimination? I don't think any kill credit slips through the cracks

@dSKyNafinchin The "eliminated" shows on the screen exactly the same as if you killed someone when you're still alive because you downed that player before you were killed yourself but you don't get kill credit.

Next time you are playing, down a player and then if your squad dies watch what happens when that downed player gets killed (it says on the screen "eliminated") and then watch what happens when the person you're watching gets a kill (nothing is displayed on the screen)

Have you ever wondered why you don't get kill credit for killing a player that's already downed by someone else who has been killed themselves? It's because they haven't left the game and they are still watching.

@Marge010 Ohhh, I was under the impression that when you are spectating someone, any kills that pop up, are their kills, because you are simply spectating their current pov. I definitely do remember a couple situations here and there, where I was thinking I would get my kill, and ended up not. It happens to me so rarely though, that I honestly cant recall, off the top of my head. I'll have to pay attention tonight if it happens, and see if I notice a pattern or anything
