(2020) Shouldn't Assists be considered as eliminations as well?

In the "Defeat 30 hunters in Harvesters Command" weekly mission, it is kind of hard to secure 30 kills especially when everyone just shoots and sometimes happens to take the kill even if you caused the majority of the damage. Maybe it is worth adding assists so these kinds of missions. Therefore, it will be less about being a sociopath and play for kills in a game mode that's kills isn't what he is mainly based on.

Just a quick suggestion.

Hi. Battle pass designer here. Thanks for bringing this up. I definitely want this to be the way it works at some point, but for various reasons we haven't gotten there yet.

In the short time for this and other reasons the number of battle pass challenges requiring this sort of thing will be going down, and whether I can award for assists will be a factor in whether they come back.

Also, over the next couple of updates we'll be deploying an update for all capture amplifier and kill hive challenges so that they share credit with all teammates.
