critical headshots do way less damage (relatively) | Forums

[Cryos_Feron]

I did not know this. Also: I did not know that critical damage was so "unrewarding".
In my example it only gives 33% more headshot damage and we all know that critical hits have become much rarer in this game.
you might even consider going for a faster reload speed on your gun or things like that instead of putting everything into critical damage.

Please let me know your opinion.


Example with an Assault Rifle:
Headshot = 40395 damage
Critical Headshot = 53638 damage

= 33% more damage for a critical headshot


Bodyshot = 19191
Critical Bodyshot = 32432

= 69% more damage for a critical bodyshot


weapon used:
LVOAC
critical hit Damage = +69%
Headshot Damage = +111%

They are both doing 13,000 extra damage though.

It also depends on the various guns, and it establishes particular gun traits. Like, despite critical headshots being unrewarding, critical hits are forgiving, which is the only advantage SMGs have - they don't need to aim for the head to deal good damage, because those random crits reach +120% CHD. So the Headshots Crits only add like 30% or even less on top of body crits. Means SMGs can hipfire and spray and still deal good damage.
