    Ile admit it, ive playd mc war for almost 4 years now, and i still suck at getting headshots. No mater how hard i try it feals like 1 in 10 hits I get are headshots, wich sucks. I kinda want to know how manny headshots you'd say you get.
    If you like me or somthing like faze,
    (Pleas comment below).
    If your somthing like faze, or mabby even inbetween, pleas give me some tips, but dont say practice or aim a bit up. I especially struggle getting headshots with the barret50cal,
    I still havent goten a headshot with that gun.
    One more thing, im talking more to the developers hear, how big is the headshot multiplyer hitbox? Is it the top if the head? Center? Top half of the player?

    Pleas pleas help, i dont want to suck at geting headshots for war 2.0

    Pleas

    To your first questions, I personally don't go for headshots. Aiming that precisely takes too much time, and you'll most likely die in the time you line up your shot. I personally don't really do headshots, although they are effective; don't stop trying.

    A suggestion is maybe lowering the sensitivity on your mouse. That helps being precise, and overall you gain more control. Aim for the body of a player, and finish them off with your secondary; that's my main action if the sniper doesn't take someone out.

    The hitbox is I believe the head. The bullets are big enough that if you get close to the head it'll hit it.

    You'll be fine for 2.0, there are many different kinds of guns that don't require (not require, but don't heavily benefit from) headshots; shotguns, SMGs, assault rifles, etc. You will have all guns for the event.

    Feel free to ask more questions!

    I believe either Mario or BrawlerAce stated that headshots were glitched in PvPGuns+ plugin, which is used by old Mc-War and Mc-WarZ. However, I don't know if it was fixed.

    I get a lot of headshots with the Python, but as you already said, I struggle to be good with the sniper.
    Nevertheless I've improved while training with the Python.

    Your first step should be to stand behind a corner and wait for somebody to come. Prepare your aim, zoom in and you will have a good ammount of headshots. If you are 100% safe with this strategy, stick on the pistol but play a little bit more aggressive. After some time you can try different guns. Moreover I have to disagree with Dark - aiming for the head is worth it. Especially if you fight pretty skilled players, giving one-hit-headshots is a must. Furthermore - if you plan to win Gungame more than once, shooting in the head is senseful.
    Another hint: If you are in a close range combat... pick your pistol and don't aim. Shooting like this is pretty useful to get some headshots.
    Oh and my bonus tip: The deagle is the key for getting a general feeling. It onehits if you do a headshot and shoots extremely fast and accurate. Pick it e.g. in a ffa and just shoot straight up on enemy's heads. It's literally op. I even prefer Deagle over Python in ffa - with success (atleast sometimes).

    I hope I could help you.

    And no, Tchuck is right. You've joined the Forums on Dec 9, 2015. The other date is your ingame join date.
    Sorry, just want to clarify this point ;D

    Just keep your crosshair placed at head level.

    Ladies and gentlemen, the grandmaster himself: Usp45

    But yeah no really if you want a quick and easy way to land headshots you can start by learning where people's heads are. Trying to do everything at once is difficult, so starting with aiming toward the enemy's head is fine

    Play F3+B and focus on only going for headshots, nothing else. You'll absolutely suck for a bit but eventually you'll start landing more shots, and they'll mostly be headshots.

    Or just be a scrub like me and use iso. ;D

    Nah, don't aim any lower or higher. Just aim at head level across the map and ajust for a change in elevation.

    I like to think of it as aiming at 2 blocks up from the ground if that helps.
