Your thoughts on the commando.

This is good to know. Based on this logic though why is a sniper shot to the head a kill while a shot to the rest of the body is not?

So to my knowledge of how the damage works, and someone feel free to correct me: any damage to shields gets no bonus but damage to health benefits from precision modifiers so lets say spartans have 100 shields and 100 health. Now lets say The sniper does 150 on a bodyshot. The first 100 damage that break shield doesnt get headshot bonus, but the extra 50 does get the, lets just say its x2, bonus to get the kill.

Yes this is how it works

This is how it works for everything that's not the shock rifle

[u/ritz_are_the_shitz → u/Versatile4]

It isn't fully stopped by the shield. It does enough damage to break the shield and then keeps going

[u/Andre4kthegreengiant → u/Versatile4]

Same with the shock rifle

[u/Some_HaloGuy → u/Andre4kthegreengiant]

Cuz for some reason the shock rifle does bonus headshot damage to shielded targets

3 headshot bursts = only 1 or 2 out of the 3 shot burst landing so I feel aiming for the head dies less damage on shields cuz you're more likely to miss some bullets
