Headshot

Overview
Headshots are a key part of SMOD. They are simply attacks from firearms, melee weapons, etc. that strike any part of the head. These attacks deal heavy damage with essentially all weapons, and cause heavy amounts of aimpunch to the player, causing their screen to fly off and messing with their aim.

Headshots can be inflicted with nearly any weapon, and are often necessary to deal with heavier targets, such as Augmented units.

Noticeably, some enemies are immune to headshots, such as Antlions or Antlion Guards.

Tactics
-If an enemy is able to shoot you in the head, your aim will go flying and you will take a lot of damage. Some weapons are also able to outright kill you instantly if they score a headshot, even with full armor. An example of this being the Dragunov. Do your best to keep your head out of range, such as moving sporadically.

-Some enemies will spawn with Riot Gear to protect themselves from headshots. If an enemy has a helmet on, you have two options; shoot the helmet enough times to shatter it, leaving the head vulnerable, or shoot them anywhere in the body to kill them elsewhere. Examine the enemy and see what's best.

-Some weapons are able to instantly kill the toughest of enemies on headshots, such as the Karabiner. If you feel you need a lot of damage fast, use a weapon like that and go for the head.
