The fact that the only way to practice hitbox-isolation on most chassis is in a live-fire environment is definitely annoying.

Just a quick question, and it's not about Headshots lol. What is a Protected Light or Medium?

Thank you in advance for any explanation!))

P.S. Most maps always have a Disconnected player or AFK, Just go to enemy spawn and Profit!))

Headshot completed LOL!))

You are welcome!

Pretty easy task: You can get ten of those in one game.

I did my headshot few days ago, but it was someone who disconnected during a fight, so it felt bad. But yesterday I was lucky enough to make another one and this time it wasnt cheating! And now I have 11 headshots !

I had something like that years ago and it felt good "fixing" the lucky shot one!

However... =>

thats really nice for all of you guys who got that lucky strike but for most other players that quest aint any fun and undoable ... unless you think that jumping from match to match to find that "lucky" dc to get it done doable

It's weird that DISCONNECTED mechs count too because usually their hitboxes get messed up and you can't Headshot them correctly ?!

You need the AFK/IDLE ones instead

I am super bad at this game, so I am sure with bit of luck and trying anyone can do that. I think doing headshots is really fun in this game. So having one as a challenge is cool.

That's the spirit !!!

I was once looking for something and I found this picture (PS: how do I post picture directly?) it must be related to this game, because that picture looks veeeery familiar but I dont know where is it from or if you can turn it on somehow.
But I think this option would be super cool, you still need to hit the correct spot, but at least this way you can learn where to aim.

That is from MechWarrior 5 and IMHO the HUD in that game is the lesser version compared to the one in MWO

Some players have even unlocked the "Guillotine" achievement.

Sorry but even after playing this game for so long now that achievement is nothing else than one of those things that not one normal player should ever reach !!

To get it you pretty much have to be a "no-lifer" and play this game waaaay too much...

That means you are playing the game correctly in a Light mech and staying together with your Team so it shouldn't be even a challenge to get during regular decent gameplay!

Again :

AFK/IDLE Players are your best chance because Disconnected Players are not reliable !!!

Good luck with the hunt!

Some light 'Mechs are good for such task.

Got headshot done.

Headshot challenges still suck.

Indeed they do ... until I come across a more or less lone Atlas and decide to just yolo it in a face tank.
But boy are UAV kills annoying to get with knife fighting builds

And that will always be the match nobody else cares to shoot the damn thing.

Since I have noticed that I have kind of made it my dedicated job to blast them out of the sky! LOL!

Not necessarily. Many fast and mobile light 'Mechs (often with Stealth armor) can be more useful when operating alone rather than just staying with their team.

Headshot finished thanks to AFK Flea but i doubt that is the way people should get rewards during an event ...

[Viltor]

Headshot objective sucks. I have 8 headshots total from 3000 matches. With 9000 components destroyed in total, chances of me scoring headshot in normal game is 0.008%.

But I was lucky getting my headshot for event. Jumped into Mist Lynx with 4 flamers and 8 MGs, first match I find afk Black Knight, had some trouble guessing where his "head" is, but managed to headshot him.

Get this, to complete event objective, you have to find AFK guy and nail him in the head. Not really a fun thing to do.

I landed a DHG headshot on a Shadowhawk on Frozen City after getting screwed out of one on a Cyclops in Bearclaw. DHG hit and it was absolutely within optimal (I went back to that exact spot and double checked the distances - he was under 200m) and it went to light orange structure so it registered a hit, but DHG doesn't take heads to structure, it takes heads OFF. It wasn't convergence - Blight's LT/RT mounts are tight and that Shadowhawk shot was at POINT BLANK.

[DerWeasel]

Who ever thought of having the head shot mission as part of the mission chain, may they be forever plagued with packet loss and disconnects. So fun to see someone on my team after we've been wiped out sitting afk in spawn and some light gets a free head shot from them, and when I finally see someone who is afk on the other team, they've got their face buried into a building. Fun. Fun. FUN.

Headshot done.... I have been hunting for it couple days... missed several opportunities (DC/AFK), missed during matches (scored several HS with lasers, but not enough dmg during 2 volleys, so I switched to flea and start to run around. Finally I sticked to Marauder with flamethrowers, we killed 2 mechs and 3rd one was BAS - luckily he got close to it, hit it with a flamer and BAS overheated....3volleyes from flea and HS was done

Still, it sux, I completely changed playstyle just to try this chalenge
