AI Scavs need to stop eating headshots.

See title. I'm not trying to complain hard here, just trying to generate discussion. This is something that has really been starting to frustrate me over the span of this wipe. It seems like the majority of bot scavs will always tank at least one headshot regardless of what ammo you are using (not that the ammo should even matter when getting shot in the face).

It doesn't matter what range you shoot them from or what ammo you use. You can have one walk around the corner and the barrel of your gun can be up his nose. They don't give a fuck, they will flip you off, say a voiceline and shoot one of your appendages off with buckshot, all while getting a load of M855A1 or BP 7.62 sprayed into their mouth. Yum.

I really just want to be able to take them out covertly. It's lame that I have a silencer and take the extra second to lineup a headshot…only to have to spend 4-5 more expensive bullets on a homeless person who is now returning fire with a bullet lodged in his skull. I know scavs have always tanked headshots, but it seems like its gotten worse. Raiders, bosses & scavs with helmets should tank headshots, but not the cheeki breekis with the toz and security vest.

In the event that you are able to one shot a scav. It feels good, its crisp and immersive. When they eat the headshot it kind of kills the immersion, in my opinion.

I know scavs have a variety of different health pools but headshots are king in this game, if we get punished for getting shot in the face then why shouldn't the AI?

TL;DR

See title. Most AI scavs should just die to the first headshot.

EDIT: The downvoting confuses me. Not sure if people just cant relate or they just don't shoot enough scavs. If you don't have to deal with this issue and are able to consistently 1 tap AI scavs; please let me know what ammo you typically run, I will try it out myself.
