Issue Description:
While using the Grenadier Gauntlet against a Reaper, it is counterintuitively better to shoot them in their armoured chest than their unarmoured head because of the damage profile, even when accounting for the weakspot damage modifier.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Grab yourself a Grenadier Gauntlet.
2. Shoot a reaper in the head.
3. Look in wonder as they keep on getting up despite having been repeatedly blasted in the face.
