HeadshotDrop 1.0.0

Make headshots more satisfying with realistic helmet drops in Rust.

Getting a headshot should do more than just damage or kill another player. Seeing their helmet fly off adds an extra detail to combat.

HeadshotDrop automatically removes and drops a player's equipped helmet or other supported head armor when they receive a qualifying headshot. Server owners can choose whether helmets drop on fatal headshots, one-hit kills, or headshots that deal a configurable amount of damage.

Perfect for PvP, Vanilla+, modded, hardcore, and custom combat Rust servers.

Features

1. Automatically drops equipped helmets and supported head armor when the configured headshot conditions are met.
2. Three configurable drop modes: Fatal Headshot, One-Hit Fatal Headshot, and Headshot Damage.
3. Fatal Headshot mode drops head armor when a player dies from a headshot.
4. One-Hit Fatal Headshot mode only triggers when a headshot kills a player who was at full health and was not wounded before the hit.
5. Headshot Damage mode allows helmets to drop from qualifying headshots even when the player survives.
6. Configurable minimum headshot damage requirement for Headshot Damage mode.
7. Exclude specific headwear items from dropping using their Rust item shortnames.
8. Supports dropping multiple eligible pieces of equipped head armor.
9. Dropped head armor is physically tossed upward from the player's position.
10. Permission-based bypass allows selected players to keep their head armor.
11. Respects Rust items that are marked as non-droppable.
12. Ignores NPCs and only processes real players.
13. Works automatically without requiring players to use commands.
