Firing at Certain Bodyparts


Recommended Posts

Obivously a headshot is an instant kill, except in the vigilanti missions where I think the criminals are wearing body armor, but what about other bodyparts? I know you can shoot male pedestrians in the crotch, and they will grab at it in pain, but then they go back to holding their stomach and slowly walking away. I've shot peds in the legs, they squirm around for a bit, then get back up. So does shooting certain bodyparts actually affect a pedestrian in any way? I've searched around the forums and Google, but can't really find any in-depth information on this.

Yes and No-depends on where you hit them, for example, if you hit someone in the hand that they are holding the weapon in, the, that will buy you some time to get a few shots at them before they can fire at you...Like you mentioned, a head shot is best for the quickest kills.

If a ped is holding a cup you can shoot the cup out f their hand without harming them.To do this:

1:Get a sniper.

2:Get a good vantage point so they cant see you.

3:Wait until they stop and shoot directly at the cup,the cup will fly out of their hand without doing any damage.

JUst a nice little detail.

Sometimes you can disarm them by hitting their weapon hard enough with a proper gun, or even just hit those cops with baseball and their pistol is not helpful anymore tounge.gif

 

 

 

 

Anyway, firing at legs will make them fall over, firing at hands might give you some free time before they start shooting again, and thats it.

Shoot someone in the arm and they sometimes drop their weapons, but I think they pick it back up if you leave them a while. Shoot them in the legs and they'll stumble, ditto with the stomach. The torso is a good place for kills if you haven't got a clear shot at the head; centre of mass is normally my target.
