Subject: 3 to the body and 1 to the head, or 4 to the head?

Mmmm Brains!

And im talking about a BR ofcourse. Im always going for 4 shots to the head, and I win more than half of my BR battles which is good, but I see a lot of people talking about how you shouldnt go for 4 shots to the head, but 3 to the chest and one to the head instead. Which of the two makes you play the best generally?

You're not good at Halo either.

3 to the body.

3 to the head.

3 to the chest and 1 to the head is a better option as shooting at the chest, which is obviously the larger target, for the first 3 shots minimises the chances of any of the bullets missing due to the spread etc and all the bullets need to connect to put the player one shot for the 4th shot.

Also, as it doesn't matter where the first three shots hit as they take the shield down regardless, you're just making it harder on yourself by trying to aim for the head when any part of the body will do.

"Providing targets for clear headshots since 2009"

It depends on range.

3 to the body is better the farther you get from your target. But if you're up close, it's more efficient and easier to just aim for the head.

Your choice, I do 4 head because I'm cool. (It does slightly more damage, but it's still 4 shots.)

It depends on how big of a warrior they are.

But, generally:

3 to the body, 1 (or 2, or 3) to the head.

Definitely body shots first. You are way more likely to hit them.
I don't know, I used to always habitually go for the head, which ended badly for me. Lately I've been trying to switch and I think I'm seeing results.

Hey.

If your aim is superb, by all mean never aim at the body.

Unless mid - long range. (Keep in mind BR spread).

Doesn't the BR fire 3 rounds per trigger? 3 shots or triggers would be about 9 rounds to the chest or head??

Here is your answer.

I would aim to the upper chest or neck for the first three shots, and then the head. Going for the head can actually harm you because of lagg, bullet registration, and bullet spread.

Hates to love and loves to hate.

The connection host determines how many BR shots its gonna take.
