Like, remember vanilla, dolls, you're on top with a sniper. Back then, you get a headshot, and the body just flops and falls to the ground, everyone is like "dooh, someone just fired a sniper" but no one is 100% sure if there was a kill or not (unless they see the person slowly losing their life). Now, modded on any map, you get a headshot with a silenced pistol and a funny effect plays that alerts the whole server you just got a kill.

So, why is this a thing? It literally defeats the whole purpose of getting a headshot, a soundless kill. No scream or sound whatsoever.

You can't even disable it anymore!! (i think)

What do you think about removing this effect?

+1 I don't anymore but I used to just kill off of headshot sound and they wouldn't report me assuming I saw it. I liked it more when you would headshot a guy and their body would flop over.

I actually haven’t thought of this. I’ll look into this and discuss with our other developers. I do agree that the headshot sound effect and visuals do defeat the purpose of silenced weapons.
