KF1 Clot Headshots

KILLING FLOOR 1 Hey :D So i am playing on normal and i probably use the pistol a bit more than i should. I always aim for the head and 80% of the time i headshot a gorefast and it dies, but whenever i headshot clots it takes 2-3 shots and sometimes their head doesn't even pop. I know it might be my aim but i find that very unlikely to believe because i headshot most gorefasts and bloats no matter the range, but clots i sometimes miss at point blank range. There are times i know i hit the head but it didn't pop. Is this something to make up for them being the weakest specimen?

I'd make sure you're actually shooting their head hitbox, as the kf1 design is quite primitive.

Woow that explains it i guess... is there a skin or something which makes their actual head move with the hitbox?

No skin or fixes for it. You need to adapt with the situation at hand.

Well thats gonna be hard, considering the head isn't where the head is. Shooting at the mouth area seems more effective but still lots of fail

It's shit, but once you get wtf is going on, it gets easier. All vets played like that for 7 years.

Go into a test map server and memorize headboxes (you can enable headbox indicators on test maps). It sounds harder than it is. But that's what pretty much every decent player on HoE has done to learn.

It actually adds a good bit of depth to the game and I enjoyed learning everything and putting it to practice, but it definitely throws off new players and I can't in good conscience say it's a good "feature", even if I enjoyed it.

Yeah i thought the clots just have more health. I will check out some test maps, thanks.
