Headshots

[Kraken]

So, for the past 15 matches i died to a headshot. I never died to headshots this much in a FPS ever. Theres something wrong here. And no im not always crouching. Im aware of my positioning. I usually dont make noise to reveal my position. I never peek twice, etc. I know the basics after 500 hours. But jesus christ this isnt normal to have so many headshots. I cant believe theres so many good players in this game. Its impossible.

Do i have the DK (Big Head) from Goldeneye 64 activated on my account and i dont know about it?

Honestly same here with headshots, getting shot left and right in the head from outside effective range on pistols alone, still try to fight it out in trios but sometimes its been really sus, like through a wall headshot 120m with a uppercut

Yes, and so have I. I heard, Hunt has an unusually big head hitbox. Also due to how much healing there is, getting a bodyshot doesn't matter much.

This is quite annoying. I had the same yesterday, I think out of 20 games I died 19 times to a headshot and once to a shotgun.

Yesterday, too, with a conversion pistol. I was randomly sitting in a boss lair and a team came along randomly wallbanging. 2nd shot blew up my head.

oh yeah, if its not a headshot, its a shotgun.

heashotting in this game is so easy compared to other fps games. I dont know what it is, the hitboxes, big bullets, desync. I dont know, but the majority of kills/deaths i see is either headshot or pumpgun.

Well, it doesn't help that they reduced sway ages ago. They just made it even easier for the better players, and more likely in general. Especially with weapons like Mosin that feel like practically hitscan at medium range.

I don't use shotties or spam, something like 70% of my kills are headshots.

It probably isn't, but yeah, the head hitbox does feel like it's twice the size. Well, my own does.

They've been cancer since weapon sway was removed imo. So annoying when you just get one tapped out of nowhere and have to watch your team fight (or worse both teams camp for 20 min while I just go on my phone or something lol) I got into a legit gunfight yesterday in quickplay where we missed a ton of our shots and such, lasted maybe 3 min but felt like an hour and was super fun. Most fights are over in 30 seconds now unless there a camp fest. I miss unloading most my ammo and hitting like 3 shots lol. I hated it at the time but compared to this its great.

I always die to insta headshots by people with 0.00001 second reaction time but I literally can never get a headshot :( It's like I'm playing a different game to my opponents, weapons sway so much I can't hit anything but everyone else literally never ever misses even from 100+ metres with iron sights and I can't even hit a standing still person at 20 metres unless I get lucky, and because I do get lucky occasionally, the game's amazing MMR system decides puts me in 5 stars which is the funniest thing in my whole life that the game is matching me with actual esport level tryhard sweat pros xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The game is more RNG than skill, no matter how many paragraphs the die hards throw at you. 9 times out of 10, those headshots were a literal random shot in the dark

Yesterday was an awful hunt session for me. Headshots left and right, Shotgun rushed,etc.
I was getting screwed over so bad I can't even hit someone or kill anything.
That's just Hunt showdown I guess. You have your good days and bad days. Wasn't even cheaters since my teammate was doing aim duels just fine, I just have a magnet on my head that day.

how much ping do you have? above 50 your enemies can see your character freeze and stand still while in your screen you are moving, I play on wi fi and I've learned this from shooters which have killcams

That is a ridiculous statement.
Are there luck headshots? Sure.
Are they the majority? No way.

Every person who actually works on aim and improvement knows that, but I understand - complaining and making such claims is way easier - as long as it makes you feel better.

The truth is:
All the tools to drastically improve your aiming are there, but the vast majority is simply to lazy to put the effort in to practice 30-60 minutes 2-4 times a week.

Kovaak, Aimlab, 3D Aim Trainer, AimBooster, Aim Master... or even Osu! (lol)

1. Download and inform yourself about best workout routines to see good results.
2. Practice regularly for two month (because aim is a skill that improves over time)
3. See how your reaction time, flicks, tracking and accuracy skyrocket.
4. Come back here and tell us again that 9 out of 10 headshots are luck.

But we both know, that will not happen, right?

then it's something else, I don't believe everyone can be so accurate or lucky at the same time, I suspect the game has retention or engagement optimized matchmaking, as most shooters in the market

aiming is more genetics than work, your height, your nervous system, the steadiness of your hand can't be changed and for the average player there is barely any room for improvement
