Ludicrous Damage On Headshots?

[shut]

So after playing around with various weapons (bows, Synapse, Ignis, etc) I noticed that Headshots on Grineer do absolutely ridiculous damage. Where a bodyshot on a level 20-some Grineer would do about 1500 damage, a headshot could do upwards of 20000.

 

Does anyone know why this happens? Are their heads considered "unprotected body parts" (no armor) now or something, or has the multiplier simply been changed to make headshots more viable or something? I haven't tested it out much on the other factions yet.

[egregiousRac]

Headshots deal 2x damage, but crit headshots deal more. As the host a crit headshot deals 4x damage, while as client they deal 8x damage.

My highest damage was over a 16.000 Yellow No. Damage !

 

Fit beautiful with 200 posts celebration !

Grineer heads have always been unprotected, back in damage 1.0 for weapons that weren't armor ignore/armor pierce, that was the spot to hit if you wanted to do any damage at all.

Huh. Interesting.

What about stealth headshots? I recall my Glaive dealing similarly stupid amounts of damage (1500 damage on headshots, <100 damage on bodyshots) when cloaked on my Loki.

Actually, Grineer heads were fully protected in Damage 1.0. XD

The invisibility provided by Loki and Ash gives a 50% damage bonus to regular melee attacks, and a 100% bonus to charge attacks. This shows up as yellow numbers, but it is actually different (and stacks with) crits. If you got a crit headshot with the Glaive while stealthed that would be another 2x stacked on top, making it be [GLAIVE DMG]*[Crit DMG]*[4 or 8 based on host/client]*2(stealth).

Whatever I shoot 1 bullet with Latron Prime and get 16.000 every hit ? Sounds pretty wait for it

I was a bit confused, though, because the ludicrous damage boost was consistent. I went from 100 damage to 1500+ on every headshot while cloaked, and we all know how low the crit chance is. XD

It could be that stealth headshots deal the increased damage too. I have not tested that.
