Is a head shot only registered in the face between the eyes and chin?
I shoot mercs in the back of the head or side of the head all of the time and no headshot is registered. Headshots only register when I shoot mercs in the face, which is not beneficial in a scout vs heavy match.
I have noticed this the most with SCP.
I would like a developer to provide a technical answer as to where exactly I need to ADS to register a headshot.

The head.
The hit detection in DUST isn't exactly stellar. You may believe you're shooting at the head but according to the system you're probably shooting their foot.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Back of the head works fine. I usually dispatch snipers that way  |

Do you shoot down on top of their head or directly in the back? I attempt this with a SCP all the time, but end up having to unload my 13-round clip on the heavy sniper since no headshot registered.

Y noone take my question seriously. If you explode on someone's face with a MD do you get a KONGDONG.

I've tested a number of times with blast radius weapons (MD and Flaylock extensively) and even lined up perfectly with a Flaylock no Cowbell. I think that blast radius weapons simply do not register as a +60, and they do not seem to apply extra damage 
Would gladly accept evidence to the contrary. Preferably something more than

I have had people tell me it possible but I myself have never gotten one. Hell I didn't get one standing point blank with a breach Md to a sniper scouts head after fluxing him. Are these people dirty little liar or am I just not lucky enough to get the kongdong with my exploding duct tape gun. I would like to see some real proof of this as well for the pepole saying you can.

In closed beta, I walked up behind a heavy and unloaded my MD into the back of their head.
They took absolutely no damage, then I suicided.

the tacnet readout will tell you
my proto scrambler will show 90 on the body, 117 back of head or front far away. 136 side of head up close

This. Look at the readout below your reticule. Efficiency Rating jumps when you've lined up a Headshot.

lol
I do this all the time when sniping, or sneaking upon people while using pistolsGǪ why do I never pay attention to it when using my Flaylock 
Seems like a simple enough thing to do

I got one once with a Breach MD shooting from above. It's the only time I got one, could be a fluke.

I have managed to get headshots with ME on 2 occasions, FG on 3, and flaylock once...with how often I use all of them that doesn't say much though, could just be a fluke. So I do believe it's possible, but that could be like believing in the spaghetti monster. |

I often snipe hackers on all sides of the head. Just for the challenge.
Seems to work fine.

Headshots happen with MD's but I think its down to luck really I have snuck up on people and oneshotted them with an MD round to the back of the head and got nothing yet sometimes you randomly get a +60 when you get direct hits or sometimes even splash kills its just crap hit detection I think.

Agreed. It all comes down to dodgy hit detection. Thats realistically the issue, always has been one of the main issues with Dust and has yet to be corrected. |
