Currently crotch shots are not only cheaper to perform AP wise, but also have a +20% bleed damage bonus, the only difference is the chance to wind for crotch vs the chance to disorient for head.
Is there something planned but not yet in place? Because this just seems like a strange mistake if not, cheaper AP for more damage (bleed).

From dev, they said aiming for certain body part gives different % chance of crit effect. For example, you have less % chance to armor bypass by aiming for arms than aiming for eyes.
ps : devs might be wrong. Test it at your own discretion.

OK, fair enough, I will have to try test a bit I guess.
Would a head shot still have any benefit over a crotch shot when it comes to bypass? Or do you mean the KO chances etc will be better for a head shot than a groin shot?
-
I'm not sure if I'm entirely correct but:
Armor bypass is the result a roll vs agility that you get on any crit (be it arms, crotch or head)
Since you can't cripple crotch, any potential cripple on crotch will be a knockout.
So if your aiming for knockouts: aim crotch
Must say that I've seen a lot of low crit perception going unpunished by no one aiming for eyes lately. Could be a cultural thing, could be head/eye shots need a buff.

The wiki has the details of all the crippled body parts except the head, I'm not sure what a crippled head does. Depending on what it does could make the difference between headshots being useless currently and actually being a viable choice.
Also if you have only 1 PE (and 35% crit PE) you probably wouldn't fear a blind result, which sets your PE to 1 lol. Maybe blinding should reduce max vision range instead, so PE 1 people still get disadvantaged when blinded.

Try it in your base, login an alt and shoot yourself. You won't lose reputation.
