📋 About This Mod
Headshots
Allows you to shoot more enemies in the head! Most organic creatures now have a weakspot on their heads.
This mod adds manually placed colliders and weakspot. Let me know if you have any feedback on balancing. Next update might weakspots to bosses too, what do you think? Also, currently it only applies to Pierce damage type. Let me know if you have suggestions.
