Just had a match in my spider. My RT was critically damaged (red) and I had an XL. At the end of the match, someone killed a treb that was lasering me. They should have got a saviour kill, but I got one instead? How does that work? I'm the one who needs saving, I didn't even get the kill, but I get the XP and CBills? Whaaaaat?

They likely got one as well. As far as I can tell, the Saviour and Defensive kills apply for assists as well.

I assume that every one, who has brought damage to the enemy mech which damaged you up to 50% of your "health", receives saviour bonus. Including yourself as well

ok.. I get money for saving myself??? nice. Should do that more often.

Lol! Why not? If u're in trouble - save yourself and get bonus.
But there's a huge chance that my assumption is very wrong ...

Could it be that you saved some other teammate and that's what your saviour bonus was for?

No, I only made one solo kill. I saved myself.

The description of saviour kill in the patch notes says it should only apply to kills, not assists. I too can confirm that this is not how it works, as I got 4 saviour kills while having 0 kills.

I think as of right now, the savior work like the defensive kill boni.

So either something got lost in translation at PGI, or someone just f**** the whole thing up in programming.[/font]

EVERYONE who was shooting the target within 10 seconds gets some of the Savior Kill. Sharing!

frozen city - an ilya was that saved you ? if yes - i got the saviour kill too.

I didn't think saviour kills would apply to assist but they definately do. It is a massive boost when you get a few of them. Feels like it is a little over rewarding. It should encourage a little more team play though I think.
