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. To use this, you have to right-click your weapon display.

If you have the Fast Shot trait selected however, you will not be able 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 your opponent from chasing you!
 * Arms Crippling one arm will prevent an opponent from using a two-handed or heavy weapon.
 * Run If you don't have 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 you get a critical bonus for a surprise attack!
 * Head, only for un-helmeted opponents.
 * Unaimed, only for unarmored opponents.
 * Groin, only for armored enemies you can't headshot.
