Aimed Shot

An aimed shot, or targeted shot, allows the player to target a specific part of an enemy's body during combat. The accuracy of these shots depends on the desired target - the torso and limbs are easy to target, while the eyes and head are more difficult. Using an aimed shot instead of a regular one increases the chance of a critical hit. The bonus effects of an aimed shot can only be activated during a critical hit. It is used by right-clicking the weapon display.

With the Fast Shot trait selected, it is not possible to perform aimed shots.

Use
It is best to target the most appropriate area for which a player has 95% accuracy. "Most appropriate area" will vary based on the situation.

In a defensive situation, it is best to disarm or disable the enemy as fast as possible. In such situations, the highest priority areas to target should be:
 * Legs: Prevent an opponent from pursuing!
 * Arms: Crippling one arm will prevent an opponent from using a two-handed or heavy weapon.
 * Run: Without 95% ACC for any of the above, run.

In a first-strike situation, it is usually best to strike the most deadly blow possible. Go for the:
 * Eyes, does the most damage possible, and gives a critical bonus for a surprise attack!
 * Head, only for un-helmeted opponents.
 * Unaimed, only for unarmored opponents.
 * Groin, only for armored enemies where a headshot is not possible.
