How many shots for kill?

Dumb question but how many shots per kill for each precision weapon? DMR, BR, light rifle, pistol?

Perfect kills: DMR: 5 shots, BR: 4 Shots, Light Rifle: 3 Shots, Pistol: 5 Shots - without missing.

Edit: Carbine - 7 shots.

Why isn’t the DMR 3 shots like the light rifle? o_O

Ignorant, honestly curious.

I think because it shoots faster than the LR and BR.

Anybody know how many it is for breakout? I seem to have a real inconsistency for how many headshots I need to get for a kill with the pistol.

I think its 3 headshots, around 4 - 5 shots in the body for breakout.

Light rifle is 3 shot kill when zoomed in. I think it’s around 4 or 5 zoomed out. Anyone confirm?

Yeah, got a perfect medal when i was zoomed in (3 shots), and its like 4-5 shots when not zoomed.

Question: is this headshots?

Yes, this was asking about how many shots for a perfect kill, which would mean that every shot hit the head.

BR is 4
DMR is 5
magnum is 5
light rifle zoomed in is 3

It’ll be the same in breakout since they added shields and regular health
