Headshot Realism

In 1 collection by Kenn_Ethic
Headshot Realism Collection
7 items
Description
The Common Infected can take more hits to the body before dying. Snipers, Magnum pistol and melee weapons cannot instantly kill them with one hit. The effective way to kill them quickly is with a head shot.

This mode aims to be between Realism mode and Headshot! mutation in difficulty and a mix of both modes. You can play it online in Co-op Campaign or Realism with a local server.

Disabled non-headshot instant kill of snipers, Magnum and melee.
Headshots still remain instant kill.

Non-headshot hits to Common Infected using sniper rifles and Magnum pistol will use their respective normal damage values.

Melee weapons take more than one non-headshot hits to kill.

ver 1.3.0

Internal Difficulty Options

Headshot Realism features an internal difficulty system that sets the weapon balance of the selected difficulty.

Difficulty
Description
HR-Standard
This is the standard difficulty for Headshot Realism that aims to be the middle ground of Realism Expert and Headshot! mutation.
Ex-Realism
The easier difficulty that uses Realism Expert's weapon balance, except the Magnum and melee weapons still cannot instant-kill with one hit.
This is for those who like the original Realism Expert, but don't want the instant-kill of the Magnum and melee weapons.

Use the chat command "!hr_difficulty ex-realism" or "!hr_difficulty hr-standard" to change the difficulty.

New Dedicated Mutations
Headshot Realism also features mutations of different game modes. Playing one of the mutation will have your game appear on the mutation server list for your friends to see.

Mutation
Description
Headshot Realism
This is the dedicated Headshot Realism mutation with Realism rules applied. No glows and survivor rescue.
Headshot Realism Co-op
This is the dedicated Headshot Realism mutation for standard Co-op rules with glows and rescue-able survivors.
Headshot Realism Solo
This is the dedicated Headshot Realism mutation for solo players.

Modify other mutations and game modes
Headshot Realism works not only for Co-op and Realism modes, but to other mutations and game modes, too. If you wish to make a mutation or game mode more challenging.

You can disable the mod via "!hr_enabled 0" chat command to make the mutation or game mode go back to its original settings.



Known Issues

Headless Zombies
When using sniper rifles or melee weapons to make a headshot to an infected, the infected will sometimes survive despite the head is visually decapitated. This is a bug not caused by this mod. It's an already existing bug in the game itself which is also present in Headshot! Mutation.


Future plans
-A solution to remove or reduce the chance of the Headless Zombies bug to occur.
-Mini achievements.

looks like snipers when hitting not on the forehead will sometimes get commons to be headless but doesn't count as headshot due to it needs to be on the forehead, AWP with gibbing effect will make zombies survive the ordeal while m60's gibbing instakills them regardless. If the AWP has the damage of 250 while commons have 50 HP + the difficulty's damage reduction, they still survive and need 2 shots, so it seems like they're based on per hit and not by damage.

this pairs perfectly with mods that make the commons slower, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this

this mod and ULTRAVIOLENCE - MOR GIBZ mod between other gore mods is really bloody, not only decapitations dont kill the zombies after one hit, but it lets you destroy more meat off the zombie which ends on a really destroyed dead zombie corpse. and also makes the game really fun.

This mod is now more than 1 year old and has reached 1000 subs this weekend! It grew naturally over time despite only 8% of the subs gave it a rating, but it still grew and manage to stuck players in with the fun, challenging balance that enhances cooperation. Thank you!
