Mechanics
This skill provides up to a 30% chance for any shot fired by the player to deal headshot damage. This effect works on all enemies, including Bulldozers. If the player scores a critical hit on a shot that would otherwise be a headshot, the headshot damage multiplier is applied twice. For Bulldozers, a special multiplier of 5 is used instead of the standard headshot multiplier.[1] A player requires a Detection of 5 to receive the maximum benefit from the Basic version of the skill, while the Aced version provides the maximum benefit at a detection risk (not Concealment) of 25.
The following table shows the Detection Risk levels at which given bonuses to the critical hit chance can be achieved for both Basic and Aced versions of the skill.
