Re: Why am I getting downed in a matter of 2 seconds, yet....

Been thinking the same when i started playing the game and i was wondering how those streamers are so good and not only they , also every average player and the reason was that i wasnt really aiming for the head, but in the chest or else safe place to land my shots, well guess what i was dying everytime 1v1. Like lets say you are playing with wingman and you hit the player in the chest its 45dmg , but if you do headshot its 90 or 101 dmg with Skullpierce if no helmet of course, but if he is using lvl3/4 helmet its 76 dmg, so you pretty much almost dead from 2 headshots rather than 4 bodyshots. Or if you are using R-301 then headshot multiplier is x2 so you will die twice as fast in the head.

Last night my squad died and i had to fight 2 players in once and i was aiming for the head, tho i was missing some of the shots i manage to get them down pretty fast. 

Also one thing im noticing in few video clips is that people usually dont finish the clip and reload way to early or just stop firing and hide when you have 4-5 bullets left, pretty much everyone of my friends who started playing recently are doing it. Shoot they see they have 4-5 bullets left and reload or change weapon in the middle of the fight and die usually :D. Like Thanos says "you shoudve aimed for the head.
