Head Shots

[Ark Hunting Specialist]

I have used a sniper rifle and aimed right for the head of an enemy and did not get credit for a Head Shot. Are you supposed to?

Some enemies have helmets, so you need to hit them in the face or neck to get a crit. Some, like elite Goldrushes, have full head helmets, so you have to kill them the hard way.

What enemy are you have trouble with?

[Ark Hunting Specialist]

I have shot at mutants,dark matter,and rebels.

You normally get a critical kill, but often you get extra experience points.

Do you happen to have a scope on your sniper? I'm not sure if they fixed it or not but having a scope mod was screwing up headshots for a lot of people. I've not had any problems getting them but I've not attached a scope to a sniper yet.
