How damage, [[Health#Healing|healing]], and [[Health|health]] work.

== Health ==

Line 11:

== Headshots ==

The [[Sniper Rifle]] deals double damage on a headshot, and a headshot plays its own hit sound. Other weapons do the same damage wherever they hit.

The [[Sniper Rifle]] deals double damage on a headshot, and the [[Assault Rifle]] deals 1.5 times damage. A headshot plays its own hit sound. Other weapons do the same damage wherever they hit.

== Damage types ==

Every hit has a type, and the type decides which resistances apply to it. Some items make you take less (or more) damage of a type, or of a whole category of types.

=== Resistances ===

* An item can change the damage you take from one type (for example "Bullet Damage Taken -30%") or from every type in a category ("Elemental Damage Taken"). It is listed on the item's card under ''When equipped''.

* Only items in your loadout count, and their amounts '''add together''': two -30% bullet resistances make -60%, not -51%. A type's own amount and its category's amount add the same way.

* You never take less than none and never get healed by a resistance: the total stops at 0% damage taken.

* Some modifiers apply only to damage you deal to yourself, like the [[Rocket Pads]]' -50% on your own explosions. Fall damage is nobody's, so those modifiers do not apply to it.

* Knockback is separate. An item can reduce the push you take from other players' hits and blasts (the [[The Chield|Chield]] takes half), but never your own rocket jumps.

* Healing is never changed by a resistance, and neither is damage that is no hit at all, such as a game mode's own health cost.

* A hit is scaled once, when it lands, so the damage number, the scoreboard, kill credit and the [[Kill feed]] all show the reduced amount.

=== Frozen targets ===

A target frozen solid by the [[Thermal Void]] shatters when a kinetic hit kills it. An elemental killing blow (energy or fire) leaves a stiff, whole statue.

== Explosions ==

| [[Grenade Launcher]] || 50% of the blast

|}

The [[Rocket Pads]] halve all of it, and remove fall damage.

The [[Flare Gun]] also burns and thaws you, but for a fifth of its blast.

== Fire and cold ==

* The [[Flamethrower]] sets targets on fire. Afterburn deals 2 to 4 damage every half second for 3 to 8 seconds; the longer you keep someone in the flames, the worse it gets. A [[Health pack|health pack]] puts the fire out.

* The [[Flare Gun]] sets its target on fire at full afterburn and deals double damage to anything already burning.

* The [[Thermal Void]] chills its target, slowing them more with every hit until they freeze solid for 2 seconds.
