Why should headshots deal extra damage?

[Imperial Guardsman]

Pilots sit in the torso, not in the head. The head is just a main camera. Yes I know it rewards player skill but this is very strange for a mech game, albeit barely one.

Having the cockpit being a weak spot would essentially be a tiny han sized hitbox where the cockpit would be on that mech. For the Rx7 Gundam it would be center of the hips, for big red it'd be right behind the main camera at the head, for Zakus it'd be center torso, and for the gm right under the lower mid center torso.

Because you obviously havn't watched the shows focused enough, of course the head is the most important! And don't you remember all the battles with mobile suits lobbing HEALING GRENADES?

In all seriousness though, the devs clearly did not give a ♥♥♥♥ about the game feeling true to the source material whatsoever.

ok, but does it make you "feel" like spiderman? lol

Its a competitive shooter not a lore accurate Gundam game. Trust me as a Zaku II fan, having only 30 rounds in the MG is sacrilege.

everything about the zaku in this game defies any lore logic lol. and i love it

Considering that the Zaku MG uses the equivalent of real life tank shells, I'd be surprised if the drum mag can hold more than that

Yes and you can empty an entire drum of shells into a gm and still not destroy it.

"like it was nothing" it walked about 12 steps and fired once before it was completely destroyed.

You were referring to the ending where he used the ai in his gundam as bait to lure Char out. But it's clearly still functional without its head.

and how effective do you think the grandaddy in that scene wouldve been against a sazabi, a turn a, and a barabatos charging it?

All those would stomp grandaddy gundam even if it were in peak condition.

Gundam fight rules bay-beeeee

Mang, in Build Fighters, a machine can:
Be severed in half
Loses it's head
Shot through the torso
Completely blown up
Stabbed several times in the chest
Have a mountain fall onto itself
Daggers thrown into its eyes
Stabbed through the head
Outright vaporized
etc

As long as the suit can last-second turn into a Core Fighter, it'll brush off all damage.

Frankly, though, a game having irregular hitboxes for critical hits would be a pretty original idea.

youre not wrong, it could be and interesting novel idea, buit i think bandai was trying to take a simple approach here. theyre not exactly experts at the FPS genre.

I don't think I know of a single game that actually gives the Zaku 2 its full MG count, for good reason. GBO2 sure doesn't

i would imagine they could introduce another zaku variant that uses its belt fed MG as an ult in the future
