Does anyone know the technical details of zed hitboxes? Obviously headshots are nice, but what about chest and limbs? In games with detailed hitboxes like CounterStrike, it's good strategy to split shots between head and chest, because chest takes good damage too, but I dunno if that's the case with KF?

Does anyone know the specific numerical multipliers, even? That'd be helpful.

Head = 110% weapon damage taken
Rest = 100% weapon damage taken

Some weapons deal more than 110% damage on headshots. Xbow, for example, deal 600%(!) damage on headshots, Winchester 200% and Shotgun 150%.

Also, headshots (hitting the headshot hit box) is not always the same as hitting anywhere in the head...

Cool, thanks for the reply. Where did you learn that? It'd be nice to know where to look for other neat technical stuff.
