Mechanics
Body Expertise grants extra body shot damage based on the target's headshot multiplier. The Basic version causes 30% of headshot damage to be applied to bodyshots, with the Aced version increasing it to 90% (the +25% headshot damage bonus from Perk Decks not accounted for). This skill works against all enemies (excluding Captain Winters, the SWAT Van Turret, and Bulldozers), however, it can only be triggered by using Assault Rifles and SMGs in full-auto mode, either by default or via the Auto Fire mod, LMGs and a number of Special weapons.
Strategy
This skill is highly valuable for weapons with a high RoF, making them a good option for crowd control on higher difficulties (especially Death Sentence) and quickly dealing with special enemies. LMGs with the Lion's Bipod can also benefit from this skill, but even more so without the bipod as it is harder to land headshots with an LMG at longer ranges.
Surefire aced is highly recommended to pair with this skill, as there will be enemies equipped with bulletproof armor vests on OVERKILL difficulty and above. Without it, the usefulness of Body Expertise will be diminished.
Trivia
- The skill icon was based on the Vitruvian Man painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
