Only Headshots (PAYDAY 2 / SuperBLT)

Headshot-only damage rules with optional host-only difficulty helpers.

Features

• Enforces headshot-only damage for selected damage types.
• Optional enemy “cover head” reactions when body hits are blocked (host only).
• Optional head hitbox sphere visualization (host only), with performance controls.
• Menu settings under BLT options.

Installation

• Requires SuperBLT (BLT v2).
• Copy the folder Only Headshots into your PAYDAY 2/mods/.

Multiplayer / Host-only notes

• The headshot-only damage filtering is effectively host-authoritative for enemies. For consistent results in lobbies, the host should run the mod.
• “AI cover head” and “head sphere” are host-only by design.
