I've been trying for I swear fifteen matches straight to get one little Blink Strike kill from behind for today's Crucible bounty, and I tell you it's impossible -- [i]impossible[/i]. No matter how quick or stealthy I am, they always turn around in time and kill me instead. However, I [i]have[/i] actually gotten melee kills from behind; it's just that they're not registering for the bounty. So what, I'm supposed to kill them at precisely 180 degrees behind them and not a degree off? Ugh. Just so frustrating. Nothing is ever simple in the Crucible for me, it eats up all of my time and drives me nuts.
Thanks for reading.

Edited by Destroydacre: 3/16/2016 1:21:48 PMAs others have said equip backstab. Also the hit detection is very wonky for blink strike. I've hit guardians from behind with it where they don't die, however I've ohk full health guardians when using blink strike from the front.

Took me 3 weeks

If you don't have a melee charge it's not considered a blink strike
-
Put frontstab on
-
Equip back stab.

Equip backstab

Take off blink

You need to have backstab selected as your perk iirc

Gotta love that radar. Inferno might be a better option.

I'm sure you are not still playing seven hours later but.... Go to inferno stand in the corner until someone walks by... Profit

Put on backstab

I just put backstab on and sometimes it works even if I killed them from the front.
-
Put on back stab and invis easy
-
I've gotten tons of backstabs with blink strike today. Try just playing some pvp, not going for the quest specifically.
-
my problem is i miss the opportunity every time. people will back up into me giving me the kill and instead i shoot not melee lol
-
I usually get it when I quit trying to get it and just play. Usually get most of the bounties done this way. Worst case senario, just let it sit there in ur inventory, sooner or later it'll happen.

Quit playing the regular, they have radars which in turn have them face you before you get close enough and throw yourself into "Inferno" that is the easiest way you can get a backstab blink strike for the bounty.

Edited by ChiknStrips: 3/16/2016 4:40:41 AMBlink over them and 180 backstab them mid-air. Or pull a good ol' halo move where you stand around a corner, as soon as they walk around it, blink up them backstab them as they walk forward in confusion. Trust me, both these make you feel like a ninja
