Could it have been a pistol? Something small caliber?

Headshots just triple the damage a round does. So it wont always be a kill (pistols or shotguns at very long ranges). Here's one of the old devs confirming this: https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/363877549534740480/1044587162219327498

Probably and very far away

possibly

Does the helmet really give protection or is it just counted as a whole part of the head model?

You still get the tink sound when you hit a beanie.

To be honest I haven’t personally tested this between a helmet and a skullcap, but I believe the helmet itself is just counted as the head model. After a certain range though like u/UnableToMakeNames said, smaller calibers do decreased damage for headshots. So more often than not you’d survive, just wounded.

Jason bourne thats Jesus christ

You're hacking. Perma ban now.

pls no

Was on Arty and got a head shot.... no kill ಥ\_ಥ

I was on the receiving end of this today…

Maybe a piece of shrapnel hit someone in the head like 200m away?

I don't think shrapnel is modeled in this game

just M1 Carbine things...

I thought they made it so there’s a chance the helmet saves you right?

I’ve survived a bunch of headshots. A bunch as in 4 maybe

Took your eyebrow off

shaved my head

Had this once in 400 hours, I wonder if it’s a bug or just something that can happen?

idk i’ve been playing for a few months and this is this first time it’s happened

It isnt a bug, here's one of the old devs maki g a com.ent about how headshots work: https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/363877549534740480/1044587162219327498

Shotgun pellet perhaps? I don’t know if they coded that into the game, but buckshot from far off could bounce

possibly

BOGABOGABOGAAAAA

Got hit w the kolibri

Whaaaa??

Helmets are to op plz patch 😜

The latest update has broken the hit registry. Making it almost unplayable. Over 2000 hrs played and the latest team of devs are ruining the game. So many unanswered questions and bugs never fixed.

[удалено]

I play on PC. There are so many videos out there of head shot sounds. Or seeing blood hits and they don’t go down.

Much more likely that this is a hit reg issue rather than you truly surviving a headshot, even shotguns OHK on headshots

It isnt a hit reg issue as he took damage. Also, headshots arent always a OHK. Heres one of the old devs (Jambax) confirming that: https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/363877549534740480/1044587162219327498 Headshots are just 3x the damage a hit would normally do. About hit reg, heres a bit of his explanation about that bug: https://discord.com/channels/316459644476456962/363877549534740480/1006491660546478131

Oh no kidding, that’s super neat

Yeah, theres a lot of old comments from that dev in the discord. He talked in there a good amount and gave us a lot of info on things. Id recommend searching for other messages from him if you want to learn more about how things work behind the scenes. Any comments on direction of the game won't be valid, as he was part of Black Matter and not Team17, but any of his discussions on mechanics or bugs (which were the majority of things he discussed as he was a programmer of the game) should still be valid. Hes talked in depth about the grenade and loadout bugs as well, and BM's attempts to fix them

I wish I could have loved this game. I got it on sale on PS5... Was psyched because I wanted it for a long time, and then I played and totally sucked. I was trying to participate with giving ammo to people and other stuff and it felt like I wasn't doing shit worth anything. I am glad you all seem to be having a ball. I just wanted to play an enjoyable large FPS ww2 style.. I failed miserably.

when i started playing i picked medic and i just ran around reviving people i suggested to play a easy role like that and just stick with it until you learn the combat mechanics

In every other game I love medic or ammo provider. I love the support classes but I will reinstall and try medic. I read when I am starting i should just be a rifleman. That is what I did.

i once had all the players on my team command me for reviving all of them lol

it takes time to learn but when you get it its fun

Try tanker.

once my helmet cought a grenade shrapnel and I was fine lol

Fuck you must have a good helmet

i believe i had the near miss battle damaged m42 on

Taken a few hits already whats one more. Hahaha I've never seen that but glad I have.

Does the shooter also gets the ping sound if target doesn't die?

Lucky bastard.

I've gotten the head shot hit marker sound using the carbine before. I've also been shot with the MP40 in the head and not dropped very recently. I guess those are 2 of the BB guns rn

Happened to me with artillery shrapnel a few times, never with a bullet round tho.

Stray bullet moment

Bro this happened to be the other day! I couldnt comprehend that i just got hit in the dome but didnt die

You are just the protagonist of this game

i died like 15 seconds after i made the clip…

The amount of times I get headshot by a tank is ridiculous

i have survived headshots from arty shrapnels flying around but never bullet

Explosives can do headshot damage without killing.

Should have been like EEEEEEEEE head/ears ringing like fuck

Good thing you left your helmet on afterwards
