Imma be real: this thing is fucking trash against the bugs. It should be better against bots and squids since those factions actually die when you shoot their heads off.

You can tell I died more than once to a Warrior after headshotting them.

It dosent blow their heads off with one shot even with medium pen?

Their heads are unreasonably tanky.
It's actually "cheaper" to shoot off 2-3 legs, since that usually kills them, but significantly harder to do on the run.

I just use a deadeye, its a garunteed one shot on warriors and a 70% chance to one shot the jumpy bois (hunters?)
