AluminumHaste Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I really can't get over how horrible head shot detection is. Even when Corpus are shock stunned, and I'm 10 feet away shooting them 20 times in the head. I finished that round with 81 kills.......1 head shot..................ONE HEAD SHOT. Every shot I make is a head shot. Is it because they have shields and the shot that kills them just happens to not be a head shot? Using the standard MK1 rifle with 66% accuracy btw. Is the head shot detection bounding box like 1 cubic inch? Do I have to shoot them in the face? Do Corpus not have heads? If that's the case then what has a "head"?

KvotheTheArcane1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Do you have an AP mod on? if not you can't headshot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitresco Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I believe killing an enemy with damage types other than the default prevents it from counting as a headshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fighting corpus, so if he didn't have an AP mod, he can't headshot crewmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoxile Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think that scoreboard is bugged in general. I have had it tell me I did 0% damage. I am quite certain I jump kicked at least ONE person in the face that mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fighting corpus, so if he didn't have an AP mod, he can't headshot crewmen Even in the event he did have AP on, alternate damage types seem to not trigger headshot counters.

Emotitron Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I really can't get over how horrible head shot detection is.

What other people are saying... those boxes on their heads aren't cosmetic, they are armor. Shooting them in the head if you don't have armor piercing is futile. Be sure to load up your weapon on AP if you want to headshot them, otherwise just aim for the chest. The scoreboard is notoriously always off, so judge whether you are getting headshots by whether or not they are losing massive amounts of heath with each hit... either by paying attention to the numbers popping out of their head when you hit them or by just watching how much their health drops. You will know though, if you are getting headshots with maxed out AP they should be dropped instantly with most guns at most levels.

Ninjaman999 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 What DE needs to do is add a sound for when bullets dont penetrate. Like a nice clink or something for shields and Corpus Helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KvotheTheArcane1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 On a serious note though I was actually on Banshee spamming sound quake so that's what gave me a WTF face. I killed phorid (mostly, like 90% of the damage) and then most of the infested on the way out (as rhino, friend was loki I think), so DE could take a look at the stats and see what's going on. (although this is a VERY VERY minor bug obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraalOhOtonami Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah, according to my stats, I've killed more with the Burston that I've not had for 2 months than my potatoed Boltor which is my "kill everything" gun. Oh, it says I have 0 kills with my rank 30 Boltor, because that explains everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleuNoir Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Is it supposed to show yellow numbers when you get headshots or do weakpoint damage in general? Or are those crits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitresco Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Is it supposed to show yellow numbers when you get headshots or do weakpoint damage in general? Or are those crits? Yellow damage is crits. Red damage is doublecrits. There is no indication that you're hitting the weakpoint other than higher damage output. Regardless, just apply the universal rule: Aim for the head. Omitting Dead Space, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AluminumHaste Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Okay I switched to my offhand and got 28 head shots. Even though when I got a head shot it was doing 100 dmg, which I lost count at over 50. They weren't yellow either, just blue floating text saying 100. Scoreboard says like 58 kills, 28 head shots. Yet I was getting like 5 headshots per kill on the sniper guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiancaRoughfin Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Head Shots are not broke, the scoreboard counter that is. I have had missions in wich i needed to make 10 headshots for the Head Hunter bonus and on the end of the stage i got 1~3 head shots counted even having completed the bonus.

Grilleds Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The scoreboard in general is pretty bugged. I've soloed an Exterminate mission for about 120 enemies, and the scoreboard said I only killed 80. Also, as far as the bonus objective and the scoreboard's headshot counters go, it only counts if the finishing shot was a headshot. I guess to prevent people from jacking up their score by scoring headshots with the Twin Vipers at point blank range or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
