Fate_6 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Been grinding all of the things on the road to Mastery Level 7. Picked up a Lex because it's interesting and easy to get. When shooting at Corpus Crewmen heads it seemed as though I was not hitting (no damage numbers), but I would get numbers when I was going for body shots. Is the Lex simply terrible at headshotting due to inaccuracy or is it bugged?
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 You need an AP mod to deal damage to corpus heads, or the weapon needs to ignore armor innately
Fate_6 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 You need an AP mod to deal damage to corpus heads, or the weapon needs to ignore armor innately Thanks for clarifying. Their head is their weak point right? Or is it somewhere else?
Aspari Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Actually it's bugged. Same with the Vulkar. Headshots to Corpus don't connect from time to time.
-Nerf-Herder- Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Corpus heads are actually the most protected part.
Yorinar Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 They're the most protected if you can't do armor piercing, the least protected if you can.
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks for clarifying. Their head is their weak point right? Or is it somewhere else? Weak point is the head, but apparently it is bugged and headshots vs corpus don't always work.
Jaddit Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Actually it's bugged. Same with the Vulkar. Headshots to Corpus don't connect from time to time. It isn't bugged - it does not do any damage to the head because neither of the mentioned weapons have innate AP. Hitting a corpus in the head does 0% of base weapon damage, unless it is has an elemental base. Edited July 2, 2013 by Jaddit

Not sure about the lex though.
Jaddit Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 No, the vulkar even with an AP mod vs corpus has trouble hitting the corpus sometimes. Not sure about the lex though. No, if you're not doing any damage with a Vulkar modded with Piercing Hit, then you're not hitting the head - I have used both mentioned weapons numerous times and I have yet to run into this problem. All elemental damage will do 100% damage or higher if you hit corpus crewmen in the head.
-Nerf-Herder- Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Weak point is the head, but apparently it is bugged and headshots vs corpus don't always work. A crewman's head is its weak point, but is also very well armored. Armor Piercing Damage or Puncture Mods are needed to kill with a shot to the head. - http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Corpus

All elemental damage will do 100% damage or higher if you hit corpus crewmen in the head. I'm pretty sure it's really hard to miss the head. I'll see that the bullet hit the head since it makes that light puff particle when the bullet hits something, but sometimes on Corpus heads that will happen and no damage was dealt. Even shot them in the eye lens a few times and it didn't do any damage.

I didn't know that! On the topic of puncture, I feel like looking that mod up... I never really understood what it did.

Even shot them in the eye lens a few times and it didn't do any damage. Then you're a victim of a seperate problem - sometimes when your connection to the host is bad, damage numbers will not show up. When this happens, you're still doing damage. It also may be that your weapon does not have a direct shot. (this can happen when you look around a corner but your character is still blocked)
R3leaZ Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Really? Did they fix it then? I leveled it up and threw it away pretty fast. Right that's what I said previously.... You dont get it. The crewmen's head is immune to normal damage. Vulkar and Lex do normal damage. There is only 1 situation where shooting the head of light grineer and corpus would fail. And that is during use of Bastille since there is currently a bug that messes up the hitboxes of these particular enemies when Bastille is in use.

I always hated that :C

I ALREADY KNOW HOW CORPUS HEADS WORK. And last I remember the vulkar had a bug where it wouldn't always deal damage.

I have it a lot when fighting bosses but I still do damage eventhough I dont see the numbers, this especially happens with the Vulkar. Edited July 2, 2013 by R3leaZ

Ahh ok, tried looking through the patch notes, because I DEFINITELY remember the vulkar had a bug (from what a friend and I could tell) where it wouldn't seem to deal damage, even with an AP mod.
