When is a headshot a headshot

So enemy head only showing. Bang right between eyes. Damage just a few points. WTH?

They used to say that was because you hit a hand or something, but they were supposed to have fixed that so you get damage for the larger of the multipliers.

But I’ve definently noticed that one.

Yup. Has happened to me too.

yeah i posted a clip of me hitting a guy in the head with a tank shell for 40 damage, only in battlefield :frowning:

probably shot through the cover. that massively decreases damage…

again today 2 headshots from a 45 calibre hand gun no kill

Well yeah if you aren’t directly in the enemies face then this is intentional…

huh??

what huh? m1911 has min damage of less than 20…

This exchange made my morning. Thank you.

If it’s not a sniper rifle chances are you’re going to need more then one headshot to kill someone…

there is something odd going on with the game…
Arrass domination behind chuch next to the ammo box… i was on one side fo the wall guy was on the other side… by default you can only seechest and head … 15 bullets later with defo 2 headshots he is still running

I’m going with poor aim, because without video to assess that’s frankly the most likely cause

A head shot is a head shot when it hits me.

man wish I knew everything like some of the experts who have an explanation for everything. Dice stooges

I apologise for actually knowing some stuff such as damage models that enables me to conclude that two headshots aren’t always a kill using an m1911. in fact the critical range were this starts to happen is rather small.
I guess I’ll have to forget the facts and just argue based on my feelings. would you appreciate that?

also you don’t get one shot… maybe it feels like you do due to poor hit indication or damage stacking but your are not actually getting one-shot (unless you are on low health or getting headshoted in cqb with a revolver of course)

There’s no point Berg as they just want to moan. I even tried to suggest that they record video so they have something to back up their claims and their first response was “don’t know how but I know what I see” and when I pointed out that they’d been told how to use the DVR in the past, and re-supplied the Sony FAQ link, their response changed to “can’t be bothered”.

a headshot is a headshot when it kills. at least that’s been my experience. it may have changed in recent updates but AFAIK assignments only count headshot that kill
