Original Post — Direct link

Coming from CS I understood that when you didn't purchase armor that you'd be exposed to getting AimPunch when shot, but in Valorant even when I do buy armor I still get it. I'm not sure if it's after I'm losing the initial armor that its happening but it's very frustrating. Especially since it's not like I'm getting it after being shot in the head from a distance that doesn't fully kill me, I'm getting Aimpunched for being shot in the chest once, which almost guarantees me to lose the gunfight.

I dont know, in cs you just see how many hp you have left&armor while in valorant its hard to notice and suddenly you get aimpunched and you dont know how it happened..

I believe its because of no armor left but Im not sure.. Anyway: get aimpunched and youre dead, that much is clear in valorant.

Aimpunch is only on headshot. Health and armor values don't factor into it.

We're working on additional feedback for low health/armor and ammo!

Possible you took damage from someone else during the exchange? By design it's only on headshot and usually works that way, unless you've found a previously unseen bug.
