I would vote for a game mode without headshot damage multiplier
Just as the title says.

Headshots are too unreliable and random in 90% cases. If you landed a good shot with nitro and got a kill - you did the right thing and it feels like you are rewarded for it.

If you double tapped someone to the chest - it is under your control. You did the right thing.

If you got a headshot from 20m+ with anything without a scope - you just gambled and this time you got lucky but it's not under your control. The next time the same exact shot can result in completely different outcome.

If you aim at the center of mass (as in the real world) it is reliable. Even if your target will move slightly - it will still be a hit. If you aim at the head then even a slightest move 1 pixel away can be a difference between "you win" and "you lose" and it is totally not under your control as your target can just TURN AROUND and turning speed is not limited for some reason in this game.

I think you're looking for a different game then, hunt may not be for you.

Which is fine; but don't expect a game to change what it is for your own preferences.

getting shot in the leg irl will result in the same situation as getting shot in the head.
You will be immobilized and you will die without first aid within a couple of hours... but anyways you will not be able to fight back

what I'm saying is that the game does have awesome mechanics and there are plenty of weapons that do not require headshots like nitro, shotguns, crossbows, throwables, melee etc.

and even 2-tapping works. I do like the game.... just getting a headshot or getting headshotted feels completely random in 90% cases.

if devs are experimenting with game modes and features it might be an idea to make a mode with balance changes to see if it works

Your inability to consistently hit headshots is not reflective of the general populace.

you can CONSISTENTLY hit headshots only on stationary or crouching targets or on 2star dudes who move in a straight line

anything from 50m+ distance on a chaotically moving target is anything but intentional hit. Because you need to PREDICT where your target will be and it totally does not depend on you - you just gamble and sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't

that's why you spend much more bullets than get kills

I know what I'm talking about, I'm a 6 star https://imgur.com/a/1pr5WRS

lol whatever you gotta tell yourself man. Advocating for removal of a core mechanic that separates good players from robots is not a good look.

I play hunt because I'm addicted to the sound of headshots.

Headshots are no luck at all, what a bs. Of course, sometimes you hit just because you got lucky, but headshots are not affected by that any more than body shots.

That's the same as saying that wall banging is gambling (and it's gambling obviously more than headshots). But at 4* people almost never hit shots through walls, are they stupid? It's all about skill issue.

just got out of a game with 5 scopeless headshots all within the ranges of 30-85m seemed consistent enough....

Just got 29144219 kills in a game solo

Talking is cheap. Show the proofs.

Yea tell me it is not random and the right way of landing a headshot is to shoot someone 15 pixels to the right of his head https://imgur.com/a/OA9zMk7

and tell me this one is skill and not luck as if you can consistently reproduce headshotting a jumping player in the flight from 40m
