Noticed just in the last couple weeks seems I've been getting headshot in my 2D. Just recall playing it 3 different days in the last couple weeks I'm estimating in the last maybe 6 games with the 2D got headshot 3 times. Once was a triple gauss ilya, and last night another Phract, post death screen said last weapon to hit me was a large laser and then one more time headshot by Arty.

Not standing still, always on the move.

Anyone running Mando's seeing the same or other players noticing they can kill Mando's by headshots?

Just wondering....

A lot of people run the triple gauss Ilya in hopes of getting instant kills via headshot, since it allows for one of the few Alphas to give a guaranteed one-hit kill on head hit.

I run the Deathsnail and haven't noticed so many head hits though. I HAVE, however, been repeatedly decapped in my Grid Iron by these triple gauss users. You either have to never stop moving, or simply send a brawler to them. Carrying 3 gauss rifles costs armor, an XL engine, and of course, having three rifles puts three lovely powderkegs in the 'Mech for you to crit.

I run Commados quite often though not the 2D. I havent been shot in the head in months in mine, but Arty has a random cance of hitting your head and killing you. So thats just bad luck. Obvios question but how much armor are you running there?

Funny you guys bring up the 3 X gauss illya as I have shot a commando square in the cockpit (with armlock on) and only made it go yellow interanl, so its not a garanteed kill if they dont all register lol.

Yeah. I've been nailed a few times lately as well. I did catch a glimpse of an Ilya aiming at me before getting sniped once, so I can confirm the above.

were you in a raven Tucson?

if your runnig a commando and something took your head off it would have more then likely killed you anywhere else it hit......

Not because the low armor of the commandos head just because you were more then likely hit by someone using a Huge pin point alpha build.

No, I don't own any ravens yet. I was in my COM 2D on Terra Therma feeling a little too safe under my ECM bubble.
