The EF88 & BROD 3 still have pre-limb damage headshot modifier values.

The new weapons, EF88 & BROD 3 still have the old headshot values from before the limb-modifier update (pre-1.3.3.0).

  • Base headshot multiplier: 1.34x (should be 1.4x)
  • Hollow Point ammo headshot multiplier: 1.5x (should be 1.57x) 
  • Synthetic Tip ammo headshot multiplier: 1.75x (should be 1.8x) 

It appears that the updated headshot values were never applied to weapons added after that patch, which results in the new Season 4 weapons are underperforming on headshots compared to every other automatic weapon in the game. 

You can easily reproduce this as you can hop into the loadout screen and check the stats of both weapons, with base ammo, with hollow points, & with synthetic ammo. 

Synthetic Ammo shown here with the modifier of 1.75x instead of 1.80xHollow Point Ammo shown here with the modifier of 1.50x instead of 1.57x

Hope to see this issue rectified asap. Please and thanks!

    Hi, 

    I noticed that BROD 3 has 1 precision point and EF88 has 0 precision.

    Is this is some kind of a bug or is it really that low?

    I also noticed that Brod 3 and EF88 have lower headshot multiplier - 1.34 while for other older weapons it's been increased to 1.40

    Came here to write this exact bug report. Leaving a comment and upvote to boost the post. Also, these weapons have a precision stat bugged, where it shows 1 for BREN 3 and 0 for AUG (visible in these screenshots). There is already a bug report, so if you're here, please also go to the link below and upvote that one as well.

    EA_Shepard​  is someone investigating it? Especially headshot multiplier which is lower compared to other weapons? For the older weapons it's been increased some time ago to 1.40 and it looks like some unplanned inconsistency when it comes to these two new weapons
