It seems bugged to me - if you're not the Host, your MKs won't count towards the bounty.

Make sure it's actually a mercy kill and not a finisher. A finisher doesn't count since it's not a mercy kill.

If you knocked them down then it'll be a finisher. You will have to wait for them to stand up and it have to say "mercy" to be counted. Really dumb, I just ignore these missions completely.

Same. I've been able to do "reliable" mercy kills on eximus units. Since they don't die in 1 hit.

Alternatively you can bring a weapon with forced impact procs or just have impact on it that can reliably proc. Then you can mercy kill too.

From the wiki:

During normal gameplay, Mercy finisher prompts will only show up on specific heavy units. These prompts are guaranteed at 40% (60% on Corpus with all their shields removed, 80% on Eximus) of their total health. Impact procs increases the Mercy threshold range of heavy units by 8% per proc up to a total of 80% (100% on Corpus and Eximus) of their health. However, heavy units above level 150 decreases the Mercy threshold range by 1% per 5 levels down to a minimum of 10%. The threshold range is indicated by a yellow bracket on the enemy's health bar.

Yeah, it's a bad one. I ended up in one where there just weren't enough Eximus spawns to get the kills and everyone just dipped.

Mission took 30 mins the last time I did it. Mercy only works on eximus and our NPC volt was nuking everything before you could get the mercy off. We needed to split up a bit to draw him away from combat

That was happening with my squad too, only it was Arthur following me around and stealing the kill every time I found an Eximus.

If you have allies such as Arthur one other thing you can do is let them shoot at the enemy and just stand next to it spamming your interact button. 9 times out of 10 you'll get the mercy kill that way. There's no way the NPC allies are one shotting enemies.
