"The headshot that first triggers the effect will have its critical chance applied before the damage is calculated for that projectile."

The Argon Scope buff does not apply to the first headshot that procs it. And if you meant to say something else, this wording is very confusing.

I tested two weapons, the Rubico and the Dread, to make sure the issue wasn't merely due to the difference between Projectile and Hit-scan weaponry. I used a maxed Point Strike, a maxed Argon Scope, and a Rating 1 Critical Delay. With the Argon Scope buff up, that should be +301% Critical Hit chance. That means the Rubico should Crit on every shot, and the Dread should Red Crit on every shot. And because Argon Scope triggers on every headshot, the buff icon was a reliable indicator of whether I had actually landed a headshot or not.

The Rubico didn't crit on every headshot. The Dread didn't Red Crit on every headshot.

As it stands, Argon Scope seems a lot less useful if you're not rapidly chaining headshots. If you're solo stealthing, and there's more than a few seconds between each kill, its usefulness drops off sharply.
