No kill credit after squad eliminated??
I've always wondered why this is. If you down an enemy and then you and your squad die and the downed enemy gets killed it says eliminated on the screen but you don't get kill credit. This happens i...

@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
It's very hard to capture this because it doesn't happen too often but I've uploaded a video where it shows part of what I'm talking about.
The video shows that I down 2 players. Because I don't quit when me and my squad are killed you will see it shows eliminated twice on the screen for the players that I downed after the player who kills me then kills their remaining player (who was trying to revive his teammate at the time). BUT I don't get kill credit and neither does the player I am watching. The player I am watching only gets kill credit for the remaining player he kills. So that means nobody gets kill credit for the players I downed.
If you see I had 2 kills before I downed the 2 players in the video and at the very end of the video it shows I still had 2 kills.
Now if I had stopped watching after I was killed and I quit the game and if the player killed the already downed players first he would have got kill credit for both of them but if I was still watching it would say eliminated on the screen (as though I had killed them) and nobody would get kill credit.
I will try get another video to show more of this theory if I can.
Ignore the poor gameplay, I'm not that good at this game.
- @Marge010 Good example I think. It even shows you bled out the ones downed even tho you were not alive. Not sure it has always been like that?
Now the only thing we don't know is if that guys teammate fired the bullets that actually eliminated the downed plays which would have awarded the kills to that player and not the one you were spectating. Cause remember, it's the last bullet that gets the credit.- @Marge010 Yes, if you are still spectating you will get 'eliminated' popups. Which I have always found weird.
Maybe if nobody manually thirsts the downed player, the kill just slips through. What if that bloodhound had went for the downed player first instead of the last guy alive? I believe that should net him the kill.
But yeah, it's gonna be hard to get clips :D- @BaldWraithSimp If he went for the downed player first he wouldn't get kill credit because I was still watching. If I had left the game and then he killed the downed player, then he would get kill credit.
I need to try get 2 videos showing this but it rarely happens so would take a while
