Bulldozer damage

[XtremeBean]

Does it matter if you shoot a dozer in the face vs the back of the helmet?

I assume the head hitbox isnt that coplex, but im not 100% sure.

Once the visor is gone it dosen't really matter. But the visor must be taken out from the front OR with explosive weapons.

Shooting at the back of the head even with the visor gone will not count as headshot damage actually. It's a bit more forgiving on the sides of the head though

Wrong. Once the face is open, the whole head hitbox takes the multiplier.

Seconded, break the visor and you can shoot anywhere.

After so many hours I didn't know this. What a fool I've been.

I'll throw my voice on the pile. Once the inner glass visor is broken, the entire head will take heashot damage - back, front and sides.

Do be careful about using shotguns, though. Because of the absurd way shotguns are coded in Payday 2, a lot of times headshots can count as bodyshots depending on how your pellets spread.

Hitting the head counts as a headshot regardless of whether it's from the front on the back; however, if either of the faceplates are still alive, hitting the head always counts as a bodyshot.

When firing shotguns, only one pellet is actually selected for dealing damage, and the other ones hitting the same target are effectively wasted. Pellets that hit the head are given priority over the ones that don't. However, as stated above, hitting the bulldozer's head when the faceplates are still alive doesn't count as a headshot, and faceplate shots are not given priority, which means that the damage dealing pellet is chosen at random. If you're firing at contact range, all pellets will hit the plate and it won't matter much, but anything past that runs the chance of RNG choosing a pellet that hits something other than the plate, in which case tough luck.

How weird, helmet still here even w/o visor. (Here it is just walking tin cans, due to balancing)
