Considering it's practically impossible to get a headshot against good players, it's disappointing when I do manage to get a headshot and it doesn't instantly kill. I've heard of too many occasions (and experienced one personally) where something with excellent defense simply doesn't get hit from a headshot. My experience involved a juiced Support hacking his Firebase. My friend claims to have tested with a Sniper against a Tank, where a level 3 bullet gets the headshot kill against a basic Tank, but just one upgrade to health makes the Tank able to survive the hit.
headshot doesn't ohko, it just does a sizable amount of damage, and a tank with some combo of passive and endorsements can survive one, as well as anyone with juice due to the armor upgrade.
yeah, if they are going to make a sniper headshot a OHKO, they might as well make the assassin's backstab one. and while were at it, lets give the tank a product nuke that affects the whole map at level 3. i said that to show that i am joking. please dont make any instant KOs.
You already have the ring out as an OHKO. Only a tank who wastes a silver or higher endorsement on armor can survive a headshot. That means they aren't able to shoot fast enough or be accurate enough to hit you from afar.
Ya as pointed out, only the tank or a juiced up pro will survive Juiced tank can even survive airstrikes Usually 2 headshots will drop a juicer though, probably 3 for a tank Obviously not easy to do unless they are hacking or in a trap though
The tank, the class with the most health, is the only that can survive a headshot. If you've seen it with any other classes then it's a glitch, and the shot is not landing at all. I have seen instances where for some reason my shot gets caught when it passes to close to a wall or other part of the arena.
