So I am one of those unlucky people that I am in a fight with multiple enemies, manage to take out a few but then there is always one or two that are under 25 HP and what happens? My teammates kill them and I just get an assist... I was the one doing the bigger job and they are the ones who keep the kill meaning that they will progress on their mastery and I wont because of it... I believe that this is a must and should be implemented as soon as possible. It's just not fair that you do all the work for then your teammate to keep your kill when you die and you just get a sad assist. Or also when you are shooting the enemies, lower their HP to 25 or under and a lovely teammate just gets there and steals your kills. It is just not fair and I honestly do get frustrated with this since, as I said I was the one doing the bigger part of the job for a teammate to just yeet my kill. I do know that the game is about teamplay and PTFO but I play for kills too and it is just not fair in my opinion. (Sorry if I am a bit repetitive but I just typed this while in a game and after it just happened to me.)#No-Pats

@SleepyWeasel68They tried that with the rollout of 2042 by Dice. We (rightly) complained. KD is a part of a game. It should not be the only thing, but it’s a thing. If you look at the scoreboard, you can see that it provides triple rewards for flag caps, double for revives, and single points for kills and assists. PTFO does provide more scoring for it than killing enemy does. I like to know my KD though as it’s still representative of balance. My goal is to kill more than I die while playing objectives. Maybe not lots more, but at least balanced KD makes me think I’m contributing to the team. I agree with the OP that assists should count as kill if you did more damage, they’re worth the same points on the scoreboard though so it doesn’t matter in that regard.

Can't believe this doesn't have more replies. But I really liked how the points were awarded in Battlefield 4.

@ISylarI Allow assist to count and get rid of KD Ratio. Getting rid of KD would encourage more players to play the objective.

@SleepyWeasel68Yeah it happens, but kills still drains tickets and is part of the scoring system.Most people that die a lot, still gets frustrated even without the scoreboard.And not having KD in a FPS-game seems weird.

@ISylarI I do not care about the score as much but for masteries, missions etc the assist should count as kills

Bring 'Assist Count as Kill' Back to BF2042

@ISylarI In the previous Battlefields we got credit for the kill. I have no idea why they stopped this. I agree with you it doesn't seem fair.

My guess it was intentional because it would make it a lot easier to T1 stuff.

@ATFGunr I didn’t miss the scoreboard at all. I’ve seen a lot of guys running around killing everyone and they still lost because their team sucked and wouldn’t cap points.

I don't understand why you want to be rewarded with a kill for failing to actually get the kill.
Kill assists make sense, but pretending your assistance is a kill doesn't make sense.

The original post was from December, and at that point we didn't got assists rewarded for a lot of events. I guess we should be happy that they trigger something at all.
Sure a "Assist counts as Kill" would be much appreciated. But considering how the rewards for vehicle destruction work at the moment, I guess this task isn't trivial.
