#Notes:
-
No matter the Playlist, every match in the Crucible is won by the first team (or person in FFA) to reach the point threshold. As the main way to earn points is with kills, K/D is almost always the most important stat for your team's success. Except for very rare cases in Control and Salvage, if your K/D was less than 1.0, you made your team lose.
-
Medals do not award points; However, they do appear in many of the same situations that award bonus points. Apart from aesthetics and bounties, medals currently serve no in-game purpose.
-
ASSIST points are awarded after KILL points. As far as I know, the only thing this affects is the “Nail in The Coffin” medal which can be awarded for an ASSIST.
If I missed anything, please let me know in the comments.
###MODS: Would you please add this data to the Reddit Wiki?
Edit 1: Added "Interceptor Kill" data.
Edit 2: u/Memnenth pointed out in a Comment HERE that in Control, NEUTRALIZE does not award 25 pts. I think this is a bug exclusive to XBOX.
- No points for XBOX One Neutralize Here (Jan 9 2015).
- 25 Points for PS4 Neutralize Here (Jan 10 2015).
Edit 3: Added WARLOCK Song of Flame to SUPPORT. (If you know of a video showing this award in action, please link to it in a Comment.)
