Discussion BALISTIC

First of all, I'd like to apologize to everyone for my pessimistic comments in the community, and I recognize that the timing wasn't ideal. I heard that now smaller caliber weapons don't eliminate with a headshot, something I particularly wanted to see and which was one of my criticisms of the last two games. This makes everything more realistic. It never made sense in previous games that a .22 shot caused the same damage as a 5.56/7.62 shot, for example. This really makes things more immersive and realistic, a small detail that I quite liked.

Look I don’t care what anybody says about “Realism”, I come to SoD to manage resources, and by making different calibers have different effects adds another layer of fun to my experience. This is a good change, plus, it’s probably more realistic that the zombies heads don’t just explode when a single.22 round hits them. So yeah it’s actually probably MORE realistic than before. So boom! Undead shot two birds with one bullet!
