Dear FatShark,
if anyone ever reads stuff in this category, you should be made aware : most uppercut swings, in the vein of the Obscurus Force sword second light, can simply never hit heads, unless you position yourself at the EXTREME end of your reach, and gently, delicately caress the edge of the enemy’s head hitbox.
If you align your crosshair similarly, 95% of the time a purely vertical or diagonal swing would headshot, an uppercut swing from a comparable weapon mark will hit the enemy’s foot, or at best, their body. This is not always a grave problem ; uppercuts with good cleave will often headshot a second enemy behind the first. But when you need to hit a Crusher’s head with this ? It’s impossible to reliably do that.
I know you’ve attempted to fix this, I’ve seen a few mention of it in patch notes, for example with the Heavy swords diagonal heavy uppercut ; but unlike Fallout 4, it just DOES NOT work.
As a result, any weapon mark that incorporates an uppercut is generally inferior to one that does not rely on it.
