one hit kills?

(Nuarda) #1

i am not quiet sure what weapon it is (i dont recognice the pictures) but there seem to be a sniper and shotgun that CAN make One hit kills…
i am pretty sure splash damage said there where NO one hit kills possible before brink released?
so i wonder, whats up with that? bug?

They said the only way there could be a one hit kill is if youre using a BUFFED Hammerdiem or barnett sniper rifle and hit a light body in the head.

I’m not complaining though. I think the general damage is a bit low, though the relative headshot damage is quite high (especially considering the high spread in this game, that just creates really random results in combat).

Sniper can insta-kill any lights/mediums as long as you get a headshot, and assuming that they aren’t using adrenaline or any other buffs.

Headshot damage high?
Dude I may have to perform 5 headshots with a Rockstedi AR to down an opponent and it pretty much takes the same amount in the body; it’s absurd.

The game doesn’t reward headshots and aiming skills properly in most situations.

it’s pretty difficult to achieve an true headshot in this game too, the heads are small the shoulders are very large on the two larger body types and they sway a lot when you’re sprinting. not to mention some of the clothing items (especially security) have protection around the head. Not that any of the “armor” is functional but visually it’s a challenge in itself.

One instance it takes ages to down a guy and the other he just drops dead from full health after a few shots, I can only attest that to headshots.

Combined with the high damage the headshots do makes the combat a highly erratic and random affair.

it really does, I generally just go for the meat I’m a peeker and a planner I usually have more then one method of attack in play against whomever I’m fighting when it comes to a fire fight.

I get headshoted a lot as medium 1 shot kill, was kinda disapointed with that considering slashdamage sayd that would only happen with unbuffed lights, actually i´m starting to feel that you can die/kill to fast in this game wich wasn´t what i expected.

Ritchie buffed hedshot is also 1 hit kill.

yeah so i wonder if something is wrong or not, is this how splash intended it in the end? as no OHK vs what we got now is 2 worlds appart if you ask me …
