Bullet damage

[Captain Kacknoob]

Why is there no outcry? There should be one of those Twitter ♥♥♥♥-storms and a petition.

Does no one care about that broken damage system? That you survive most head shots? Even without helmets? Unprotected heads.

Most bullets have as much punch as a literal punch with your fist. And an axe is superior to a gun.

When they removed vital organs, they forgot to remove the brain. When you don't exactly hit the brain hitbox (which is tiny), you damage the head's health pool.

A head has 60 hp. Most bullets except for the .308 and 7.62x54 do less than 60 damage.
Yes, even 5.56, 5.45, .45, .357, and 7.62x39 to the face is not enough to kill a player.

Some bullets even need 3 head shots to kill.

Does no one care?

Helmet or no helmet?

I guess I can't, no need to get arsy about it.

It was just a question, no need to get overly sensitive.

Most people learn the game and adapt they don’t waste their time complaining because doing that makes you look like a salty new player

New player? I bet I am one of the 5% who actually understand the damage system.

Then why are you wasting your time crying about it?
Doing that makes you look like a salty new player who isn’t good at the game

So it was mine ;-)

I guess the reason of the absence of outcry can be found in the fact that unless you are trying to shoot someone chasing you with an axe with a chambered pistol, most times you just fire bursts or many rounds into someone at short distance, so the actual defect in the hitbox is not that noticeable to be game changing.

Also, same as a shot in the leg doesn't make you limp, or a full power bullet doesn't flatten you when wearing body armour, makes sense that any head shot not hitting the brain is not fatal.

Though I'm pretty sure it would knock you unconscious.

Do you think I care if some strangers think I am a new player.
If complaining about a broken, unrealistic system makes you seem like a little whiny ♥♥♥♥♥, then so be it.
Nothing's gonna change otherwise.

You are the one who is whining not me and if you think the game is so broken and you aren’t having fun like everyone else just don’t play it

headshots were always a sensitive case in this game, especially with lower tier weapons.

dunno about the 60 hp for the head but even if that's correct, you'll only have 5 hp left after being hit by an assault rifle bullet and won't run far anymore for sure (if you're not knocked out).

but granted, it's a bit unrealistic (I guess in favor of enhanced gameplay).

Little bit off topic, does anyone know if Zeds have the same HP as humans? Also if their hitbox works the same

BK-18, CR-527, Repeater, SK 59/66. Not all weapons shoot in auto mode.
5.45, 5.56, .45, .357, 7.62x39 and 9mm requires two headshots in a row, .380 requires 3-4.
It's more arcady than Call of Duty for ♥♥♥♥'s sake.

It doesn't. Go ingame and shoot someone in the head with a 9mm.
30% chance they get knocked out.
With a helmet, the chance is like 1%.

Would be a rather silly question to put in writing....

Those 5 hp are still in the head. You need to land 2 head shots in a row.
If you switch to torso, you are dealing with a different health pool.
Torso has separate 100 hp. Doesn't matter if the head has 5 hp left, it doesn't affect the torso.

Edit: I call that dehanced gameplay.
