[Suggestion] Environmental kills should count towards "Kill Enemies" objectives
I was playing on a Cataclysm map. For several enemies, I would simply either push them onto the cataclysm title or let them sit on the cataclysm tile so that they would die on the next turn. To my surprise, I actually failed the "Kill 5 Enemies" objective. I had left no Vek alive! What am I supposed to do? Save the ones that wandered onto the Cataclysm tile on their own so that I can meet the objective? This is really very counter intuitive. If there were Vek still alive and they retreated, I would understand failing the objective. But this technicality really flies in the face of the spirit of the game here. Sending the Vek to their deaths in a Cataclysm map is supposed to be gratifying. Instead, I'm penalized. Please change it to count these towards the "Kill Enemies".

No matter how the enemies die, you get the credit for the kill.Tedderz wrote:I was playing on a Cataclysm map.

I think it's likely that in this case you lost because you blocked enough spawns to not actually get that many enemies on the board. I find this quite common on cataclysm and tidal wave maps, and won't take those coupled with "kill" or "block" goals (unless forced) for just this reason.

I'll have to retest this then, because I feel like I was specifically trying to level my science mech up through environmental kills.
