Do Headshots count at all? I play a sniper, and Im at the point if it ain't a heavy it's pretty much a Oneshot Kill anywhere on the body. So Im asking is there any reason to aim for a headshot? If this has been ask I apologize, there are 140 something pages of post and I don't have the time nor desire to read through them all. And if a headshot does make a difference how much? Thanks in advance, can't wait to see everyone in game, currently Im loving it, course Ive played Eve and this is awesome. |

Low-tier Sniper Rifle (other than the Charge version) with minimal SPs invested can't one-shot anything but a Militia Scout, unless you land the headshot. If you're looking at high-tier targets, even the good Sniper Rifles will take a few hits to kill Proto Assaults. Headshots help a LOT. And against Heavies they're more valuable, landing the headshots can mean the difference between taking 2 and 3 shots to kill, and if the Heavy has a Forge Gun, or is in CQC with your teammate, a third round will often come too late. |

Yes. Weapons can get headshots.
The 3 weapons I've personally seen do this are the Large Machineguns, the Scrambler Pistols, and the Sniper Rifle. It does not tell you blatantly in text if you get a headshot however. |

The answer is Yes. From my estimates it does at least double damage. |

For me its the difference between stripping your shields off or kiling you with the scrambler pistol. Mind you the pistol has a nasty habbit of climbing perfectly up to the head on the followup shot from centermass. |

^^^ He's right, I tested this with a friend on the last build and it does basically double damage.
It may still take more than one headshot to drop a heavy though. I'm not sure about a proto assult because no one wants to volunteer to take the round to the head in good gear  |

What they said. I've noticed that people will try to hid behind hills or up on a platform but when they stick their little head out to shoot, I can take them down almost instantly, like 6 shots. Maybe they have weak armor or something but it seems to be much faster when I'm aiming at their head... |

I did a little experiment with this. You've all probably noticed everyone has a grid of blue hexagons when shot at. That's the shield reacting to the bullets.
The experiment I did was to try and understand the model of this shield. What I found was that the body and head have different shields around them. When you shoot at the body it's a largeish shield like an elongated bubble around the body. When you shoot at the head it's just a small shield like a round bubble around the head.
They are treated differently at least with the Shield. I suppose the same goes for armour hit detection. |
