Tips for target zones

[pipi.colombo]

I would appreciate some help with critical zones. I can't really figure where to hit some of the dinos. Besides the lungs and heart highlighted with x-ray (usully obstructed by legs or arms) , is there something else?
I took dwn a Triceratops hitting its eyes, and some carnivores shooting their mouth I think? When they were charging.
Carno and giga seem really hard to kill and I keep trying different zones with no success.

I think the neck is also a critical zone. I shot a few dino's down while aiming at their neck and they went down instantly.

The eye is a critical zone for all dinosaurs except the DLC ones as they seem to simply not have it set up, in my experience the DLC dinos tend to forget their heads have a hitbox too so shots often go right through their head without any hit.
Parasaurs are very easy to land eye crits on due to their heads being small enough that most shots will hit it's eye.
Open mouth shots are also a critical zone for carnivores, not sure if this applies to hebivores too though.
When it comes to landing critical heart shots though the usual issue I have is taking my shots from a bad angle so the distance from the dinos skin to it's heart is too great and the bullets damage is reduced enough that it doesn't land a crit.
So mind the distance your bullets have to penetrate, and try not to shoot through foliage since this reduces the speed and damage of your bullets.
I remember reading somewhere on this forum that bullets lose all speed and damage after going through 7 leaves/plants so always go for a clear shot.
You learn the best angles after a while though, just have to keep trying different approaches.
Like how you don't take a shot at an anky from above, you want to be at ground level or take your shot from below them for the best result.
For Ceratosaurus I have better results taking shots when the dino is facing me, shooting it in the side seems to not deal as much damage.
Keep trying and you will figure it out.

Best of luck and happy hunting :)

Correct

Nope, their critical zones are on head, but instead of eyes, we decided to mix things up for them and chose different whole on their heads

Well that explains it, I stand corrected :)

Oooh that's interesting... I should try!

I managed to one-hit kill a Gigantosaurus by hitting it behind the "ear." It was walking away from me, angled slightly so I could hit it just behind the eye. IDK, maybe it was just a lucky shot, but it went down with one hit. This was at a good distance away with the sniper rifle, upgraded for maximum damage.

I'm still having trouble with the Carnotaurus. I can't seem to find any "sweet spot" on its head as most bullets just seem to pass through the head. Neck shots don't work, nor do shots to the heart. I've only been able to take one down as it was charging at me and I think it was simply because I hit it enough times.
