Headshots not even one-shotting with the Silent Pistol

[JOHNNY SEALION]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded devs, can't get anything right. Since this new patch, I'm getting WORSE frames, and now, headshots with the ICA Pistol aren't even one-shotting enemies. Nice work, morons.

i one shot them just fine and game runs better , u just cant one shot from some distance to prevent pistol sniping

[JOHNNY SEALION]

that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded, I shoot people in the head with my pistol, and they just have a large red lump on their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ face, that's stupid.

if the game was realistic you'd die in 2 shots and enemies would be instantly suspicious upon seeing your killer face when everyone else is scared etc. would you like the game this way?

realism isn't a factor for balancing, only gameplay. sniping with your gun from 150m away isn't good gameplay.

Thats the case since release. You only get headshots with pistols on close range because of bullet spread. I would say after 10 meters its pure luck if you hit the head and not 100%.

Weapons are to weak in general I think. Plus the AI needs to react more realisticly when you shoot limbs (fall over, drop guns, etc). If the target is running away and you shoot them in the leg or even in the back, they just carry on like nothing happened :/

Do you know in real life , people actually survive a headshot that's not properly aimed. lol.

You most probably grazed the NPC head.

As for "reacting realistically", it should apply to Ageny 47 too then the whine storm will begin. Luckily this game don't have bunny hopping. lol.

I literally cannot believe you idiots are defending an obvious flaw in the game.

Yes, everybody is stupid except you.

Okay, so, shooting a human-being in the head, should only knock them down, to get back up?

you already have pistol with godlike accuracy so whats your problem ? just get few meters closer and u can one shot them

I've noticed that the headshot range is extremely short. Probably not more than 10 meters, maybe 15 if you're lucky. 20 is too far for sure. I've tried headshotting the guy in the museum while he's at the end of the room and I'm near the end of the cabinet in the middle, but have never managed to do so even after numerous retries.

I must agree that I also find it kind of annoying that headshots are not permanently disabling someone at any distance. Even if they don't die they should at least get down and not get up again. It just feels wrong and "wonky" to have to shoot someone twice in the head to disable them in such a realistic game as Hitman.

I actually also miss the slowdown effect from Absolution when you headshot someone without being in combat. That way you could walk up to say 2 targets, shoot one in the head and time would slow down for a couple of seconds letting you shoot the other guy also. This worked well and reflected the fact that 47 is the ultimate skilled killer so it does not feel unrealistic in any way. I also miss the pointshooting a bit even though it was a bit op. If it could be included but only in very very rare situations that could be nice.

Go to a shooting range and try to hit a object the size of a head multiple times near the center on maybe 30-40m range like 47 do it without proper aiming, just raising the pistol with one hand and shoot without using the iron sight.

Even with the dna of 5 super criminals Mr47 is not a super human.

Headshots are usually a 1 hit kills for me, but I did get into one weird situation where I shot that Helmut guy in the face. After seeing him fall to the ground I shot a nearby guard before he noticed what was going on. When I killed the guard I suddenly got a "body found" message even though no else were in sight. When I turned around I saw that Helmut had gotten back up and was standing there with a big bullet hole in his face and apparently he was the one who found the body lol.
