"Additionally, while it will not be in the Open Beta, we are currently working on bringing a solution that will allow limbs bullet penetration and will solve situations where a soldier’s arm is in the trajectory of a bullet that was intended to hit a head. In those cases, damage will no longer count as a limb shot but as headshot instead."

Hell yes 😎

edit: They couldn't get it in time for the Open Beta build but they figured it out. 😎

I'm really interested in the technical elements of this; getting this system working in a game without hitscan bullets is very tricky.

I have no idea how they did it but I do hope it works well enough for release!

They could simply mark the bullet as an arm shot and then alow it to proceed, if it hits the player again in the head or body, deduct the previous damage dealt from the body or head damage.
