This video shows a bit of detail on what kinds of shots with the Huntsman bow (and other non-hitscan projectile weapons) count as hits.

  • However, if the Huntsman uses projectile hitboxes, how do they know if it's a headshot? Do they just ask if the arrow hits the highest... quarter of the projectile hitbox?

  • @Tr0tim :

    Presumably, although there's nothing stopping Valve from having a second slightly-smaller "huntsman headbox" inside the main volume, and testing if the arrow would have entered it.

    @sadysadycool :

    Unfortunately they removed several of the commands I used to make the video, probably because people misunderstood what it did and (wrongly) complained that it showed the game had bad hitboxes. Try using sv_showlagcompensation and firing a single bullet while looking at a bot.

  • @Draknfyre One rocket jump in and the sniper is fucked, unless he plays competitive in which case he could go for an aerial headshot. But a majority of the time even the likes of Justin, Mackey and Liquid can not land it, and will get juggled and killed, unable to scope in or fire arrows in mid air.

  • @XxArrowBluexX Obvious troll is obvious.

  • Hunt Hunt Hunt he's the Huntsman!!! Into action is his cry!

  • @massampage Yes

  • so, has this been fixed?

  • Very well done.

    Especially considering you didn't get paid or wasn't sponsored by anybody.

    You deserve my thumbs up :D

  • @egobot13 spy.......see balance

  • @VCRRecorded360 this why we have 3 heavies and medic combos on servers :/

  • At very close range (in front of your face), you can do 200dmg at headshot, killing a soldier instantly. It's always good to pair up your huntsman with jarate or smg to finish your enemies easier.

    Spam at head levels and at narrow passageway. A good prediction, practices and a bit of luck will make you a deadly Robin Hood.

  • Thanks for the info,I've been wondering about some of the shots I've seen.

    and about the other comments,"why we cant have nice things"

    The huntsman is difficult to use and anyone who has used it enough knows that its balanced,everything in TF2 is balanced when viewed objectively.
