A '''Headshot''' is a tactic used in both [[Campaign]] and [[Multiplayer]] to score instant kills. This occurs when a bullet or projectile is fired at an enemy's head causing higher damage, which is logical. This is more effective than the bullet hitting the enemy's body. Since the head of a character only consists of a small percentage of their body area, it is very difficult to pull off many headshots unless the player has a good stationary and shielded position. Headshots are most commonly performed with semi-automatic weapons that have good accuracy, and a precision sight, such as a sniper/beam rifle. | |||
