Critical points on larger enemies?

[The Grounded Badger]

Hello everyone, 

 

  Don't know of it's been suggested yet but what's everyone think about critical points on the larger enemies? 

 

 I'm not suggesting weakening them but I am suggestion points on creatures that, when hit, cause extra damage. 

 

  I think this would allow for a more tactical way of approaching the larger, more dangerous creatures as well as making players in Multiplayer plan their attacks. 

 

  I'm open to suggestions and criticism as always. 

 

Thank you in advance and be safe out there!

Limb damage and headshots are almost always a thing. 

Since this is a game preview and not the full game, the full damage system features may not have been included.

And why only crits on larger bugs?  almost every bug in the game is larger.  if they're going to implement crits it should be on all, with a bonus to smaller bugs and a penalty to larger bugs if you want a real crit system.  Penalty may not be the right term, but attacking a lady bug that's 4 or 5 times your size with a spear shouldn't get you the same crit damage as an aphid.

Yep. But I see what you're getting at.

The Stun System is pretty good .... 
but I think this would be a good addition and synchronize well with it
I've noticed that the spiders do get stunned if you time your attack and hit them dead in the face right as they start to attack
reasonably positive it even interrupted them ... 
 

hard to say ... they were screaming ... 
I was screaming ... there was a lot going on ...
