Do headshots count in this game?

[Zealocke 53]

Well.. do they?  I read some people say yes.. others say no. I really don't know anymore. Help!

[Slickmund 58]

Indefenite answer, they count, as any hit. Theres no damage multiplier for headshots.

As Slickmund already said, they don't.
APB would probably be kinda weird with headshots tbh.

Yeah I don't think headshots have a place in this game.  I DO wish players were vulnerable through car windows and car tires were shootable, but I dunno, game might need a massive rework for that.  As-is, a player literally BECOMES the car when they get in.

[Aeronaut 647]

yeah I'm not a fan of how players basically absorb a cars health as soon as they enter. but if players were able to be shot through car windows, car chases would be impossible. 

 

 

imagine car drop off missions. some of the locations are pretty difficult, especially if the defending team swapped out to AV weapons.

 

 

if you're trying to ninja a car objective, if the other team was constantly able to shoot your tires or you through the windshield, it'd be impossible to make any progress.

Do NTEC do as same many damage as CR5? Some say same gun?? my do not think so 

[N66 97]

No, they absolutely do not as a classic headshot, all body parts do equal damage in APB, however, you may aim for the head, for the satisfying ragdoll impulse when the enemy dies.

 

 

Tip, there are different damage types though, some enemy can have Kevlar to increase protection against bullets, but he'll still be 

vulnerable to stamina damage (stun) or explosion damage. and in case of vehicles, look for the "Hard damage" to know what the damage the weapon will do.

Yes, they're identical, CR5 is just a reskin.

These 2 are a comparison between CR5 PR2 and an NTEC with matching mods, nothing is different

Not at all, even shooting between legs in the blank space takes damage, here's a picture of what the hitbox looks like that I took from another thread:

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

And right as N66 said, there are several factors regarding damage taken, so I'm adding this graphic about Clothing Agent and normal health regen curves to understand this as well:

You are all just cubes. and every one of them looks exactly the same. hell character height doesn't even change it. head shots are shots, just like that shot that missed the character model completely counts.

[Bornstellar 108]

They count as normal hits. There is no specific head hitbox for more damage.

[Vahnilla 10]

not really, it is the same as shooting them on the butt

Yeah I think only the non CA was incorrect, otherwise looks the same.

Where/how did you get that btw?

 

I tried a quick search in the APBDB/Vault but couldn't find this info so just posted that old picture I had. And would be useful for the OP too.

There was a thread on the old forums, I'll look it up after work, post it and mention you.

What if windshield/tires had to take a certain amount of hard damage before failing? That could mitigate it somewhat

what if you can shoot in the car without getting out from the window to shoot?

[Nite 261]

Meaning passengers could shoot out from inside the car without having to lean out to do that?

 

Don't know of any game that allows that for passengers so

[SelttikS 224]

What if we could dukes of hazard through the windows to get into cars or like power slide across the hoods instead of jumping over or around... fuck yeah that would be cool.... what was this thread about?
