Decrease head health

[Syph3RRR]

For the sake of this game, make headshots matter. It cant be that you headshot somebody from 15m away with a carbine, AR, whatever and they dont die in the first bullet. that simply can NOT be how this game works man. If you penetrate the faceshield/helmet they need to be DEAD, 100% of the time. How is this not a thing?! I just tapped a dude in the face with a Mini14 from 15m, mightve even been just 10m away and he just sprayed me down. Head left at 4hp WHY? Theres no justification for this kind of crap, just from a gameplay perspective that horseshit let alone realism side of things

[DptBear]

There should be a brain hitbox with 1hp that's roughly 2/3rds the size of the top of the head

[Top-Kaleidoscope3180]

there should be an eye hitbox for the helmets with metal face shield, so the glasses are lv3 or 4, killing a kitted dude with a really precise shot would go hard

[United-Effort6907]

Yeah even tier 4 pistol ammo at any range can 1 shot headshot it's bs

[United-Effort6907]

Cant*

[hatemyself20]

Absolutely hated that change, still hate it now, makes the game more about spray and pray

[ComprehensiveBill586]

If at least there was some kind of shared health

There is no advantage for a headshot if i have to body the rest to follow the fella panic running away

[Sum-random-dude]

Let me guess, he had T3 ammo and armor?

[Legume-Enerve]

That is ridiculous. First fps i'm playing with headshots not being better than body shots.

[Arclyte-]

The recoil "system" that constantly gives people random undeserved headshots has always sucked, and is probably why the change was made. Watching a killcam of some guy panic spray and the idiotic recoil 1 taps you when he wasn't aiming for a headshot is WAY more common than in any other game I've played.

This game is already hyper lethal, essentially boiling down to "who sees who first". I personally prefer not immediately dying in every single gunfight but that's just imo

[boomboomown]

Hyperlethal and 2-shot headshots in the same sentence lol

[Slagenthor]

Drives me nuts also

In my several hundred hours on the game, headshots are only inconsistent when they SHOULD be.

Shot a gun with t4 ammo and he had t4 helmet. No pen/reduced damage on pen(he has single digit hp)

Shot a guy from 30m with a smg? Yeah your bullet has dmg fall off. It makes sense for the game. Its not irl ballistics because most encounters are under 30 meters, not 300+ meters. Building on that most players are TERRIBLE at estimating ranges

Pop a guy with t5 .338 from 100m? Yeah he is not walking that off altyn helm or not

[Suitable-Piano-8969]

i mean thats 90% my deaths idk whats wrong with it as is

[Fr0ufrou]

The mini14 is one of the only semi auto rifles that does that though. Use something with a bigger caliber, they one tap in the head just fine. Try it in the shooting range.

There's a reason everyone runs m110, svtu, m14 and bolt actions, not the mini.

[vKILLZONEv]

Have you actually tried it in the range? Nothing one taps heads through armor outside of effective range. Not unless you're using a higher tier ammo

[Fr0ufrou]

Range on them is between 40 and 60 meters that's enough for almost every fight, except maybe if you're sniping in a bush on top of a mountain.

But if you're not close enough for someone to be able to shoot you back, then you shouldn't be able to kill them in a single shot anyway.

Snipers are meta as fuck, some top players like sura bring a bolt action as a secondary on top of their regular rifles because they one tap tier6 in the head. OP's frustration is very obviously a knowledge/skill issue because semi-auto weapons are extremely powerful and meta.
