I think the threshold for whether you can be resuscitated or not is based on how much damage you suffer over your full HP value; headshots are often fatal, but not 100% of the time.
Example: you're in a suit with 250 HP. An NT-511 headshots you for, what, ~300 damage? You should be able to be res'd after that. A Charge headshots you for ~800 damage in the same suit? No chance. Along the same lines, a Logi with ~700 HP could probably get a res after the Charge headshot.
I've never seen someone get res'd after I headshot them. The easiest way to test is after any headshot put your crosshairs over the body. If the crosshairs go red then they can be res'd, but I've never seen that. I could be just lucky though. By the way, it's a HMG I use so the final shot damage is very small. |

Headshots are supossed to be instant kills, no matter how much EHP you have.
A headshot isn't an instant kill, it just causes 1.95 times the damage a body shot would, or 4.5 times for a scrambler pistol. If the final kill damage is a headshot, you hear a gong sound and they can't be revived. Sorry if I stated what you already know. |

I doubt CQ fighters can make similarly detailed observations.
I stand by my belief that some headshot kills can be revived. I don't really care if that's the way it's supposed to be or not; as if it'd be the first thing in the game to not work consistently.
Well, since I'm CQB centric what with being a HMG heavy, I do notice when a body is possible to revive as I do a coup Dr grace on any that can be, and have never seen a revive possible corpse since the gong indicator was introduced. But, you might be seeing a bug. This is Bug 514 after all, but it's getting better recently. |

I stand by my belief that some headshot kills can be revived. I don't really care if that's the way it's supposed to be or not; as if it'd be the first thing in the game to not work consistently. I am a former sniper (moved on to scrambler rifle) and I have had many headshot kills as well with the sniper rifle and scrambler. From what I remember, headshot kills are still revivable. I would prefer that headshot kills are non revivable as a way to reward precision. In many instances, Ive been in a 1 vs 4 firefight and have downed 2 of the 4 while defending the target. In many of these instances, I aim for the head to ensure a faster drop and move on to the other players. In many of these instances, such killed players are revived and Im thinking to myself, "well thats dumb. whats the point of going for headshots if they can still be revived?"
What I want to know is are you getting a gong sound after each kill you presume is a headshot kill. If so then it's a bug if they're getting picked up after.
