A newly explored hitbox has the potential, Incall of Duty: Warzone the Weapon Meta properly influenced. Meinmmo shows you 3 weapons that are part of the extended weapons meta and have a strong neck multiplier.
What is neck damage? Each weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone has a value for basic damage that changes through different multipliers, depending on where your opponent meets the body – which Hitbox caught her.
For a long time, it was assumed that there are only 4 areas with its own multiplier in Warzone – breast, stomach, head and limbs. But now we know a 5th area: a hitbox on the neck.
This hitbox is located exactly between the chest and the head and allows you to distribute more damage in the upper chest area without having to go directly to headshots. For many players, especially the chest area is the destination with tendency towards headshots. So you aim a little higher anyway, then hits in the neck-hitbox are probably probable, even if the area is quite small:
What brings me neck damage? As good as every weapon comes in Warzone with other multipliers, some weapons benefit from the Hitbox sometimes more, sometimes less. The neck multiplier is no exception, but even more a outlier. The multipliers are sometimes different and some weapons at the neck simply cause breast damage, others to the full headshot damage.
The explorer of this mechanics, Truegamedata, has now shown its meta-weapons in a new video and also goes on the neck damage. Meinmmo introduces you 3 of his top weapons with neck damage and shows the advantages of the bonus multiplier. The English video of Truegamedata we bind you here:
