Hello there.
I wanted to talk about HeadShot multipliers. Some of you may not know, but in Dust, hitting the head will enhance the damage output of your weapon. I dont have the full list of those but here are some. Feel Free to give me some more, i'll add them. Beside, you just need to aim at the face of a team mate to see this.
The followings stats are all given considering you're inside the weapon optimal range.
 Assault Rifles : 150%
=> In my opinion, this is way too low. A headshot should be at least twice the damage of a regular shot to the chest. At the moment, it doesnt feel like there is much reward in going for the face. Worst, taking the extra second to hit the face will get you killed.
Scrambler Pistols : 450%
=> Well, scrambler pistol are tough to use. They should deal massive damage when hitting the head. Doesnt strike me as odd.
But, with skills and damagers, a HS could reach almost 500 HP damage. In the end, it's probably way too high.
Yet, it should be the weapon with the biggest reward for a headshot imo.
Will add the other weapon modifier over time. But we can already discuss those two. |

I haven't been effected by the scrambler pistol's high headshot multiplier personally, but that does sound too high.
Yeah ? I would have thought you'd be all in favor of rewarding noticeably more HS with ARs. |

I'd reccomend a 200% for ARs, and 300% for Scramblers.
In MAG they implemented that any pistol headshot was an instant kill. Its just a little weird that a single pistol bullet, small as it is, made me die, but 3 heavy AR bullets to the head did not. I'm all for gameplay over realism but this just gets a little silly...
Agreed. Even though hitting the head with that damn scrambler is pretty random even through ADS. |

Exactly. Meaning a HS in Dust for a 30 HP rifle ends up at 45 HP damage.
Wich doesnt seem very high to me. A HS should be worse 2 shots. Especially when a shot in the feet (......) deals 100% damage to the enemy.
Doesnt really motivates to actually aim at the guy's face where the hitbox is much narrow and such more easily missed. |
