Headshot

Sign in to edit

A Headshot is used to describe any kill caused by an injury to the head.  

Overview[]

Headshots deal a lot more damage to the victim than anywhere else on the body, such as the chest or arms. Should the attack hit the head, 6 times the damage will be done, the enemy is usually killed instantly. (unless they have protection from Head gear or large HP pool or unless the weapon isn't strong enough and sometimes shot from a great distance)

When a player gets a headshot kill, the announcer will yell "Headshot!" and a small picture of a broken skull will briefly appear on-screen. During the Halloween season, a pumpkin replaces that skull instead.

Trivia[]

  • Shooting the Super Spy in the head will be no different from shooting him in the torso, making headshots practically useless.
    • A hidden update in the 2/20/14 Patch allowed this to increase the survival rate of the Super Spy. (Source- Combat Arms Forums #8 Post by Brozooka)
  • Shooting Dr. MG in the back weak spot is actually considered a Headshot and if killed with a shot to the back the announcer will give the headshot sound cue to the killer.
  • Strikers are immune to headshots
  • Shooting Freezer Abnormals in the head will cause them to momentarily be stunned for a short while and move or attack slower.
  • In CA:R the actual Headshot damage can be viewed by shooting the dummies in the Shooting Range.
