They finally increased base headshot damage

[Deceptive Pastry]

Don't think this was mentioned in patch notes. One of my biggest complaints (and first mods) with A17 was that they only gave you +50% headshot damage with no perk. It's now +100%

 

<passive_effect name="DamageModifier" operation="perc_add" value="1" tags="head"/>

 

They nerfed the headshot perk per level to compensate, but at max level you still end up with +200% damage total.
