    New to Survival - Need more knowledge

    Just started playing survival last week, just finished a run and at extract for another group killed one solo hunter, only player around him using turret and M60 / shock, went down but missed copter, then go and craft flare and back to extract, after calling in no hunter appears and just get on copter. When checking my stats I find I have no Hunter kills, why would a hunter not spawn the second time, what am I missing here ?.

    Thanks for any advice. Cheers

    No need to craft another Flare Gun , you can keep using the same one.
    Once The Hunter is killed at a particular Extract point they wont come a second time around.
    You can go to a different Extract Point , call for Extraction and a Hunter will appear ( 3 Extract areas , so 3 Hunters ) if your farming the Commendation.

    Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Any ideas why the hunter did not register on the commendation or do you think that is a glitch ?.

    Cheers

    1st. To make sure I understand. Was you in the group or was you running by during their extraction? Did you not get credit for Survival or did you not get credit for the Shield? Normally, you have to do damage to the Hunter and he must be killed for you to get credit. So another player may have killed your Hunter and you never hurt the Hunter, so you scored zero points for the kill, but got a clean extraction point.

    2nd. There 3 extraction points in Survival, your Hunter got killed by someone else. You got no credit for it. Once your Hunter was killed at that extraction point. It is clean of Hunters and you can extract from there till you die and will never get a Hunter to spawn for you ever again during that session. Now you could have went to one of the other 2 locations and got yourself another Hunter.

    3rd. To sum it up, in Survival you must damage and it must be killed by anyone to get credit. For the Shield, you (I would suggest you get a shot in) and your teammates must damage and it be killed to score credit for that (I would suggest you get a shot in) .

    I was approaching the extract point when the extract commenced by a group, I engaged a first hunter with another player, after he was killed I engaged another hunter solo and he also went down.

    Thanks for the information which will be beneficial next time in.

    Cheers

    Sounds like you should have gotten credit, but with the issues they was having yesterday. Maybe there is more issues then we know about.

    I've once not gotten credit for player kills. You need to kill four to achieve Turncloak (1600pts). My team took out four but it didn't register.

    I suggest playing PVE first to know the routes you take into the darkzone. The loot is not randomized.
    Craft extended mags and 12x scope at the beginning of your run.
    Craft m44 when you are in the DZ, it will help to clear out landmarks and extraction.
    Check on top of buildings for top tier loot.

    Thanks for the good tips here.

    Just to clarify if running in a team and the hunter is taken care by another team member will that kill still count for the purpose of my Phoenix Shield?
