30 dmg from ONE R99 headshot

Someone care to explain to me how TF ONE R99 headshot does 30dmg? 

Now right away your first reflex might be to explain it with the sync of the Server being funky and therefore some damage that should have been counted to the second..."bracket" of damage (you know the one that says 113dmg by 4 headshots and 5 body hits) was somehow accredited to this one headshot that has been counted seperately for whatever reason. 

But that can't be. The section listing 113dmg adds up perfectly. I always record my games (well 95% of them) so I was able to check what helmet I had. I had a white helmet. And a white body shield which means 150HP.

Overall I took 150dmg. 30 + 113 + 7 = 150dmg. And I got knocked. So I did in fact take 150dmg.

The 113dmg part shows (excluding the 30dmg headshot) 4 Headshots and 5 body hits. One R99 headshot on a white helmet does 15dmg. A body hit does 11, a limb hit 9 dmg. This works out perfectly. 4 x 15 = 60. 53dmg remaining = 4 x 11 + 1 x 9. That means all the shots in the 113dmg section have the correct damage values. And as I said the rest adds up to 150dmg, so I took indeed 30dmg from one R99 headshot. Like…how?!

I’m not posting this cause I think that I would’ve survived bla bla. I pretty much stood still cause I had to heal and I only had a bow. I just want to show this apparent issue in the damage output of a gun. That’s really all I want to do with this post.

  • @Zero-Loot5 Yeah the dmg calculation is yiffy as * at times. I have had it happen on stream that I have cracked the same persons shield 3 times in a row and been super sure he's low, but no.
    Also no watson ult or anything like that to be the cause. I don't know if the game rewinds time to make their shields be fixed again or what is happening, but at those times it's weird as f
  • Wow, and on the other side this is what happens when Apex wants you down 😂😂😂 , so there is no escape 

  • @Zero-Loot5 That 51 dmg should not be there, you did at first deal 90 dmg(first you see 22, then 17 and then total (22+17=39) shows up on screen again, then 17 and 34 so (34+17=51) shows up again). I am guessing they show 51 as separate and also as part of the 90 dmg(51+39). Or you dealt 51 before at any point(I am not sure if counts only immediate dmg)
  • @maximas1986I am assuming the dmg number in the red box is the cause of concern here, right?

    You were shooting at a fortified legend or a guy with Lvl 1 helmet
