Because War Points are supposed to be an estimation of your contribution to the battle. A dead merc is a dead merc regardless if you put 1 bullet in his head or 3 in his chest. |

No Headshot WP.
A Headshot HUD indication, but no extra WP. |

So what you're telling me is efficiency on the battle field with your limited bullets should be frowned upon? |

However, you bring your own guns to the battle. The cost of ammo is on you (technically), not the person paying you who does care about your contribution to the battle (even if that employer is currently an automated isk printing machine...). |

You don't find that your contractors who pay for your clones, wouldn't rather have a team that finishes the enemy as quick as possible? |

Considering the proliferation of nanite injectors since they've been fixed (and the willingness of people to wait to be picked up), getting a headshot can be the difference between a completely superficial contribution or a important one.
Yes OP, more WP for headshot. Exactly 5 more WP than without a headshot. |

That is actually a good point. Then again there are other ways for overkilling an enemy. Make it a +5wp for overkill now matter how it's done and you have my support. |

False. A headshot finishes the enemy. A normal body shot would allow the enemy to get revived |

Considering my mass driver puts hostiles down for good this mean I get +5 for that too? |

Sure. Not much people use mass driver anyway. This could increase the mass driver population |

Headshots are, frankly, a stupid mechanic anyway.
It's far from the most efficient way to kill. Why would you shoot at the most heavily armored piece of a dropsuit anyway?
If you're going for efficiency, I'd say sniper kills to the body, or forge gun kills maybe, or sniper tank kills or RE kills, hell even grenade kills could be far more efficient than attempting head shots even with the stupid extra multiplier to head damage we have in game now.
Besides, anyone now, can shoot at the bleeding out clone to finish them off. |

I think rewarding mercenaries for good aim is a plus. |
