Editing Critical hit (section)

== Headshot ==
'''Headshots''' are critical hits caused by most - but not all - weapons and some abilities upon hitting an opponent's head hitbox. Melee and beam weapons are usually incapable of dealing headshots.

Generally, a headshot gains a 2.0x damage modifier, meaning that they deal double the damage of a bodyshot (for example, [[Cassidy]]'s {{al|Peacekeeper}} deals 70 damage to the body, but 140 damage to the head against a non-tank hero). Some weapons do, however, have a differing multiplier:

* [[Sojourn]]'s {{Al|Railgun Alt Fire}}, [[Roadhog]]'s {{Al|Scrap Gun}} and [[Illari]]'s {{Al|Solar Rifle}} have a 1.5x headshot modifier.
* [[Widowmaker]]'s {{Al|Widow's Kiss}} while scoped has a 2.5x headshot modifier.

[[Genji]]'s {{Al|Deflect}} and [[Echo]]'s {{Al|Duplicate}} inherit the property from the original hero's weapon or ability.

Some abilities, such as [[Ramattra]]'s {{al|Block}} and [[Wrecking Ball]]'s {{al|Roll}}, can partially hide or completely disable the hero's head hitbox, preventing them from taking the bonus critical damage. They are still vulnerable to other forms of critical damage, however.
