Best. Headshot. EVER.

by Dan Landis on December 31, 2008 at 8:09 pm

Anyone who has seen or played Fallout 3 knows that the slo-mo VATS system can provide some pretty gruesome scenes — this is no exception. Possibly the goriest headshot I have ever seen in my life, complete with distinctive flying eyeballs and a lower jaw, is contained herein. Mature content warning!

(Also be warned that the volume is ridiculously loud, so you may want to turn it down before you start the video.)

    Thanks! I actually found this on gametrailers first, but the quality was terrible. I had a hell of a time tracking it down on justin.tv as the title was different and everything. I’m still not entirely sure how their site works.

    See, that is why Fallout 3 is game of the year. I rest my case.

    That was freak’n awesome. I have not picked it up yet. Fallout 3 is certainly on the to-do list. Thanks for sharing that gnarly headshot! It was the extra push on my decision to get it.

    True. Very symmetric.

    Japan 9.0
    Russia 9.1
    China 9.4

    takes the gold.

    If you guys really think Fallout 3 is GotY, you should vote for it in our Readers’ Choice Awards:

    This looks like…almost every other headshot in the game. The camera just didn’t change angles.

    what gun is he using??? i just got the game the other day ago and i have seen shit like that! man now i really want to know what gun he’s using but it kindof looks like a hunting rifle

    I had a similar shot but with the sniper rifle. I was after the guy in the rafters of the left over barn. I could barely see him and the camera followed the bullet for like 6-7 seconds before it hit him in one of his eyes and exploded his head. It was so awsome I love the VATS.

    Mexico619, I also think it looks like a hunting rifle. They actually do a decent amount of damage when you max your small arms skill.

    I played the video right as I started reading the warning. I’m in pain.

    It was very cool though.

    Yeah, that looks like the hunting rifle. Glad i’m not the only one who uses it on those nasty ferals! I need to narrow down my weapons choices though, currently toting the hunting rifle, chinese ar, combat shotty, shishkebab, silenced 10mm, 10mm smg, and a lazpistol, plus around 10 naids and mines.

    I also have played many hours of Fallout 3 and never had such a great-looking headshot. Good capture!
