Sometimes when playing I feel that the scoreboard does not fairly reflect some of the contributions of players when it comes to assisting. So, I suggest an improvement to the scoreboard that now has two different assists, Hard assist and Soft assist (or Tactical assist).

Hard assist will work just like assist work in the current game by damaging an enemy in any way and having a teammate finish the kill. The only change to this will be if you down an enemy and a teammate finishes them off that teammate will receive the hard assist and you will receive the kill. This reflects what is fair and who earned what, let's be reasonable one shot to a defenseless enemy is not an earned kill especially when someone else did the work for you.

Soft assist (or Tactical assist) will include helping out with a kill in any way that does not include damaging the enemy, such as helping locate them or stun them with a non - Leatha gadget

Helping locate by pinging an enemy with a drone, camera, Loin scan, Alibi hologram, or any other means as well as audio detection such as a Dokkaebi call or the new motion sensor and then having a teammate kill that enemy a few seconds after will result in a soft assist.

For non Leatha assist if you stun or impaired an enemy by a Yoki blast, grzmot mines/grenade, Banshee or flash-bang, etc. And a teammate get the kill that will result in a soft assist.

I do like how this gears towards teamwork, as well as utility. Have you thought about the point system for this at all?
