Headshot

Alpha-2 Ranger Headshot skill.

There's ways that you can specialize this that turn it into the 'execute' that it was born as originally. It does pretty high damage, but if you spec it appropriately it does bonus damage when the target's below 50% health; and if the target is marked it has 50% reduced cooldown I believe with the spec that you have. – Brian Ferguson

Headshot mechanics

Headshot mechanics (where there is a specific hitbox for a player's head) are not planned for the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.

• Headshots were a part of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale.
• Previously it was stated that headshot mechanics may be implemented in the MMORPG along the lines of a higher critical chance and that they would not be one hit kills.
  • Headshots in action combat are equivalent to a critical hit in tab targeted combat.
  • Players relying on tab skills will have a fixed critical hit chance every time they use an ability or weapon.
  • Players using action-based skills are going to rely on getting a head shot or hitting a critical spot on the opponent.
• A Ranger skill called Headshot was introduced leading up to Alpha-2 testing.
