Updated to version 1035. Outdated since 1041. I keep the guide online for historical reference. Shots-to-kill with REU remain the same.






Rack 'em Up = REU
Each consecutive headshot increases damage by 10% up to 70% with Gunslinger weapons.

(Headshot increment happens prior to damage calculation. So your 1st ever shot in the head (when you have 0 on the counter) will still cause +10% more damage.)


Bone Breaker = BB (bodyshot specialist)
Don't just collect them, break them too: do 20% more damage with Gunslinger weapons.


REU will only deal less damage then BB when you see 0 or 1 on the headshot counter. On the other hand a full stack of more then 7 hits on the counter will only drop down to 6 stacks and then subtract one more per missed headshot. And at 6 stacks you already have the full damage bonus of 70%. This means when you stack the counter past the 6 for the full damage bonus, you can miss one shot and you will still keep the full damage bonus. This makes REU only then deal less damage then BB, when you miss 6 headshots in a row. Also you only need a REU stack of 2 to have enough damage bonus to reduce the required shots-to-kill for scrakes and fleshpounds. Decide for yourself if REU will pay off for you or you better go with BB.


Side note: Missed shots with the HMTECH-101 Medic Pistol will not subtract from your REU counter.
If you have to clear trash around a SC/FP, before you engage it, the med pistol is an attractive option, to ensure you keep REU fully stacked until you need it.
