Red crits are crits when the enemy is unaware, other weapons sometimes also do red crits, soma for example sometimes finds a gap in enemy behavior (in a firefight) and criticals become red, this is a bug because in a fight, enemies are aware, but gaps appear even if it's for just 0.2 seconds.

In this particular case where you do 100% red criticals, it's also a bug, enemy is aware, AI is working right, there is no lag, so the ocasional red critical can never come, it does with the synapse because it's bugged, for some reason the shield causes the game to think enemy is unaware of you.

Damage wise it's the same, do not get hyped, regular critical or red critical is the same.

Distance wise, it's greater
