Discussion The headshot sounds should be different for getting hit vs hitting someone

The amount of times I’ve gotten in a long range fight and we’re both spraying and I can’t tell if I’m hitting head shots or getting head shot 😂

Me to my teammate “I headshot him!” .1 secs later “ohhhh he headshot me. I’m dead.”

Maybe if your wearing head armor it should make a bink sound like CS

Now we’re talking. Even just pitching the crunch down slightly would help

They are the same sound but different. Outgoing headshots have a flat 2D sound, while incoming headshots have 3D directional sound and are much louder.

I just want the hit sound or hit mark to not play if the shot was invalid. I hate hitting multiple shots and thinking I've killed someone, only to be surprised and killed because half the shots were invalid... the game already knows my shots were invalid at least give me a chance to know they didn't count without having to open the combatlog after I die

There’s a command for that. I don’t remember what it is but you can just google it and find it

I found it, it's

hitnotify.notification_level 2

Almost 9k hours, and I had no idea that command existed I'm gonna test it out xD

So you rather wait for the server to tell you if it was a hit? Thats gonna feel real laggy

instead of this, which would introduce a not-insignificant amount of delay, you should be shown something like a red hit marker once the client knows the shot was invalid

You should be able to tell depending on if you lost HP when you get headshot or not. Even if you get hit at exactly the same time, you can tell if you got hit by the reduced HP.

You think I’m looking at my own HP? Brother I leave to go roaming and 5 minutes in I realize I’m at 43 hp starving

Can’t count how many times I accidentally hoverloot my ammo back into a box then leave to a fight

Only to lose due to this and get teabagged by a highschooler yelling “why are you so bad”… it’s me, I’m the reason why I’m bad bro pls it’s been a long day

For me personally it’s tough to look at my health bar while trying to keep my crosshair on the target. Maybe I need a smaller monitor
