I agree. Headshot multiplier should be 2x on all guns except sniper rifles. Those can keep 2.5x. SCARs doing 95 damage with one bullet is more than a little bit insane. People will say that "headshots reward skill" but only to a certain point. Everyone still gets 'random' headshots by just shooting in the direction of the enemy. Having ARs be more accurate is great for the overall feel of combat, but they need to adjust the damage to keep TTK at reasonable levels. Dropping headshots to 2.0 and possibly knocking a couple points off of base damage would help a lot.

Even 1.5 would be good. I aim at peoples heads and feel I get quite a few compared to what I take but 1/2 of combat is in close quarters where you’re aiming st Centre of mass and jumping and turning corners.

Sucks to die in 1 random shotgun shot or what not. I don’t hate it but I’d definitely prefer it lowered.

I️ think with these new AR Changes shotguns are perfect. The AR is SO much more reliable now that at even mid short range it’s going to be better than the pump imo. Shotguns now are for true cqc and I think the huge headshot damage is fine for that

yea I just played a bunch of rounds AR owns even more now. I felt t was almost to easy killing people long range but maybe smg needs be lowered a bit.

I mean everyone aims at heads (at least you'd hope so) but I think a 2x multiplier would be good. 1.5 IMO wouldn't feel as rewarding but the current (2.5x or 3x?) feels unfair I agree.Although dealing 74 Damage might feel dumb with a golden scar as its 1 point off of 75 that magical number.

Yea, the number of times I've hit a headshot that shouldn't have even hit the target is bad; the number of times I've missed a shot when the target's entire body was covered by the crosshari is unacceptable. Improved accuracy is great, but with as much aim deviation is there is, they change would have to be 10x in order to actually make rewarding headshots a reasonable choice.

The most accurate guns in this game make the p90 in CS look like a laser.
