    Riker Boss Kills?

    Last night seeing the commendation and knowing I killed Larae Barrett 150 times alone, yet I had almost no Riker Boss kills and that didn't include the nights of running the DZ killing them over and over. So I ran with a friend and would take turns killing them. Who was awarded the kill wasn't always the same. Sometimes he would get credit and sometimes I would. It wasn't always the last bullet, didn't seem to always be the one who provided the most damage, but as we were tracking we discovered we both got credit. I understand it is too late and not begging for the reward at this point.

    Curious on how exactly how you got credit for this? Cause I also notice that I didn't get credit for several other commendations as well. Talking with others they felt the same. Yet yesterday some commented that they didn't even do the commendation and got credit. So how are we credited for our efforts?

    I admit I focused on the farming for GE credits and didn't focus on the rest as much. Just would like an answer.

    Any time a nearby enemy explodes it usually delivers the final blow and you don't get credit.
    It's meant to be whoever shoots the final bullet, but explosions from nearby enemies are not classed as yours even though you may have caused them

    Final bullet? Most damage? I killed a lot more then I got credit for, so not sure what I am looking for here. I at 1 pt I used a sticky, flame turret, and unloaded with my gun and still don't think I got credit for the kill.

    Now that could explain what happened and why I didn't get credit. Thanks!

    My understanding it was killed with your gun. If you killed her with a skill I don't know if that counted either.

    If by cheesing it you mean doing the 3 LZ riker bosses on 4 characters a few times a day and using a sticky flash to make sure you took out the boss first before the NPCs explosions could take them out, yeah I cheesed it

    I used skills to hit her as hard as I could then would finish her off with a gun making sure I would do max damage get final bullet. That wasn't the only Riker Boss I took out during the GE though. This input is at least explaining why I may have got shafted. It sounds likely it all my own doing as well.
