Certain Enemy Body Parts will apply damage multipliers to incoming damage that is inflicted on them. These special enemy body parts are specific to each enemy type, and the multipliers are applied to all damage inflicted, independent of their damage type.
Special Body Part Multipliers
Below is a list containing all enemy types and all their known special body part multipliers.
Corpus Body Parts
Humanoid Script error: The function "Faction" does not exist. enemies without their helmet have a x2 headshot multiplier. Don't confuse a MOA's head with its gun, the head is small and on its front, not on top. MOAs have a x3 multiplier to their "fanny pack" (the grey box on their rear) as well as a x0.5 multiplier (only taking half damage) to the gun on top of them. A MOA's head does not have any body part multiplier, though headshots for the "Headhunter" Challenge Reward are still counted via their head, not their "fanny pack". Anti MOAs and Fusion MOAs have heads that activate headshot-related procs but do not have a damage or critical damage modifier.
