Give the brain a separate hitbox

[tall kayak]

Sometimes a bullet will land somewhere on the head (e.g. jaw or cheek) but miss the brain entirely. It doesn't make sense for someone to die to a jawshot which is why the brain should have its own hitbox on the character model.

NPCs that receive a non-brain headshot will be knocked down momentarily and suffer from a massive reduction in their shooting accuracy, spatial awareness and other debuffs that would logically happen when someone gets shot in the face

Dude you're getting incapacitated if a bullet rips through your fucking jaw

nonsense suggestion

[tall kayak]

Depends on the caliber

[somber horizon]

There are videos of people shooting themselves in the face and walking away. It's very possible as long as you aren't catching a large ass round.

[vagrant merlin]

I refuse to entertain this

[plush stirrup]

yeah I don't think i'm getting up and going back to work after I get a 7.62 through my pearly whites

[somber horizon]

Wasn’t exactly “waking away”, more like extreme panic. A popular one was a guy at a range who shot himself in the cheek with a 9mm

As for a rifle cartridge like a 7.62, yeah probably not lol

[slim tundra]

smaller rounds wouldn't instantly end your life depending on the angle and location of the hit

[twin cedar]

It's very dependent on caliber and... just general luck.

A low caliber such as a handgun or something like 5.56 at low velocity might not be lethal, and a grazing hit that just scrapes the flesh off the side of your head will hurt like hell, but won't kill ya

[hearty orbit]

Lmao prolly true

[hearty orbit]

I mean you might not instantly die but you would be having a very bad day

[pseudo meteor]

“Ahhhhh! my eyes! I cant see! back to shooting i guess.”

[slim tundra]

yes

[tepid bone]

I think for the purposes of the game a headshot is GG

You are almost certainly incapacitated if you get shot in the head, so as it relates to gameplan they may as well be dead.

[maiden geyser]

well...

You wouldnt be dead, so making them immediately a life less corpse is weird

I think this should trigger an incapacitated state

[pseudo meteor]

I put that in a separate suggestion but yes

[maiden geyser]

Ill do that latah

with a cool graphic cuz y not

[shadow trench]

Balls hitbox is instant kill

[astral needle]

Brain stem is a main part too

You stab or shoot a brain stem and they're gone.

[maiden geyser]

Or severely mentally disabled, which would make it fucking too gruesome I'd say

[glad thorn]

Agreed

This isn't blood trail don't understand how people play that game

Milsim is one thing smoking crack and cutting off peoples fingers is psychotic

[pseudo meteor]

Fully agree, but I think people play blood trail because they will feel less bad about killing those people because they know their not actually real people and play it to release their anger

[vagrant merlin]

Its telling I think

[tepid bone]

What the fuck is blood trail lol

Anyway off topic nvm, but starting to go 👀

[clear dove]

😔 it do happen and its depressing that it does. there's photos of the guy after his face is "repaired"

very rare though ofc for so many reasons

[pseudo meteor]

just watch this

[tepid bone]

Yeah I mean the blood etc. I think adds to the game, but there is certainly a threshold where you no longer serve 'tactical' gameplay and are just iterating on gore for the sake of it. Certain aspects of life we don't need, and I think seeing someones jaw blown off is not what I'd vote for in Geronimo.

You can add that kind of thing in to the other suggestions that ask to implement aspects of the real world that really don't need to be in a game, even if it would be more 'realistic'

But there is definitely value in realistic responses to bullet impacts, different AI response to different impact zones etc.

Even though I said something to the contrary earlier, I definitely don't want people laying around slowly dying. That again feels like too much for my tastes and serves no function in tactical gameplay. Err on the side of function and dead is dead fairly quickly.

No purposeless incapacitation

Other options perhaps can be modded later on.

[glad thorn]

Agreed, but still, I don't think I would play that game to release anger, I feel like if I played it to the extent the game lets you I would probably end up judging myself. My VR game for blowing off steam is blade and sorcery, it's violent, but its sunshine and rainbows compared to blood trail.

Sorry for getting off topic.

[cerulean stream]

there was a vid of a guy with a glock 18 shredding at the range with a foregrip, it broke off and shot through his hand a couple times

[vagrant merlin]

lol

[maiden geyser]

nah i need to double tap my kills

[shadow trench]

He just like me fr

[tepid bone]

But do we then need the dev's to model asymetric ball position. i.e. left side sag

We'd need to account for the variance of relative teste position in different humans, as I'm assuming this isn't a consistent measurement and it would be unrealistic if you shot the same spot in the balls and every time it direct hit a teste etc.

Personally it would be an immersion killer if this wasn't taken in to account

[glad thorn]

Agreed, if this doesn't make the cut, then I don't think the game can either. 😒

[maiden geyser]

Due to cavitation, a near miss shot can still detonate a teste.

[tepid bone]

Not my balls bro, they are steel.

[shadow trench]

I plate mine in titanium A every morning

You kick me in the balls your legs shatters like a fucking cartoon
