kill- 50
assist- 25
vehicle assist (when someone in your vehicle gets a kill)- 35 for an infantry kill, 45 for a vehicle kill (at least LAVs)
revive- 60
NULL cannon hack- 100
hack assist- varies depending on percentage you helped hack, I believe the maximum is 50 for NULLs, 25 for others
other hack (besides vehicles)- 50
team resupply (someone gets ammo from your nanohive)- 10
triage (repair)- 15 or 25, can't remember
guardian (repairing as someone is getting shot at)- 25 or 35, can't remember
LAV destruction- 40
Installation (and dropship?) destruction- 100
HAV or RDV (the thing that carries vehicles) destruction- 150
team spawn (someone spawns on your uplink)- 15, I believe
When you do one of these on something that's tagged with a squad target, you get 10 bonus WP, and the squad leader get's a squad leader commission, which is 10 for them.
The list probably isn't complete and isn't 100% accurate.
Without Squad Bonus, triage is 25, guardian is 35.

That is correct. Moreover, take note that since Squad Leader gets those extra 20% as commission points, for each action that gets the squad bonus your squad gets 140% of the initial reward (your 20% plus squad Leader's 20%). Therefore, if your leader places a Defend order on one of the members of your squad, and you all stay together for the entire match, you will get an OB 40% faster.
Not to mention that running as a squad in general will bring you more WP due to more potential kill, destruction, and hack assists. This will most likely lead to two, if not three, OBs. If you have a good Logi in your squad, he'll make sure to bring a lot of WP into your pool, while also keeping you alive.
That's why it's important to find a squad pre-battle so that you will surely accrue those extra points; not many random squad leaders issue orders on the battlefield. I try to do so every time I'm solo and a leader, and most of the time we can get a OB. But still, finding a squad, especially with mics, will bring your game to a whole new level. |

They seem a little pointless.
Skill Points and Precision Strikes aren't enough? Moreover, by comparing WP and deaths of an individual, you can calculate how much a person contributes to the team per one life, and whether by means of killing or supporting. It seems to be quite a useful statistic, IMHO. |
