What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Brassnads
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Banners, Badge Select
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Looking at the requirements for the badge
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Every match I have played with more than 3 kills
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Since the beginning of the game, noticed it today
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Little to no impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? "With a full pre-made squad, play a game where each player gets 3 kills." The badge has 4 tiers. 3, 5, 7, and 10. Currently, if a full pre-made squad ends a match with 5 kills each, then you won't unlock tier 1 -- because you all ended the match with 5 kills, not 3. That's right! You need the exact number of kills shown each in order to get the badge/progress it. Either it's a bug, or it's a hilariously bad requirement that should never be sought after. "Oh we all got 5 kills exactly? Time to run into the zone and die so we can get our badge to progress!"
What should be happening instead? I assume you should progress this badge if your whole squad has more kills than specified by your badge tier.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It's fairly easy to test. If you've ever had a game where your squad won or lost with more than 3 kills each, check and see if you have the badge progressed at all. I don't, and I can show numerous games where we have more than 3 kills but I can't remember any games with exactly 3 kills across the board.
First picture is me (Brassnads/Bloodhound) and a full pre-made squad winning a match, we all have 3 kills minimum but 2 of us have more. This was taken on Sunday.
The second picture is me (Brassnads/Bloodhound) having just logged into Apex Legends just now to take the picture and going to my Bloodhound tracker, who I was playing at the time on Sunday, without any progress towards this badge.
The only other relevant information I can think of is that the squad is a full pre-made squad, but not all of us are on each other's friend's list. E.g, in the top picture, I am friends with BurlyChad69, who is friends with Robotninja07, but Robotninja07 and Brassnads are not friends with each other.

For some reason it dropped the first picture. here is the screenshot with the squad having kills.

I won a game with final kill as Champion and Kill leader but it did not unlock the Apex Predator Badge for Wraith. This is something that I have been trying to get for a while now and I'm severely disappointed it didn't unlock. Please fix this EA!
