HeadshotDrop

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

• Automatically drops equipped helmets and supported head armor when the configured headshot conditions are met.
• Three configurable drop modes: Fatal Headshot, One-Hit Fatal Headshot, and Headshot Damage.
• Fatal Headshot mode drops head armor when a player dies from a headshot.
• 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.
• Headshot Damage mode allows helmets to drop from qualifying headshots even when the player survives.
• Configurable minimum headshot damage requirement for Headshot Damage mode.
• Exclude specific headwear items from dropping using their Rust item shortnames.
• Supports dropping multiple eligible pieces of equipped head armor.
• Dropped head armor is physically tossed upward from the player's position.
• Permission-based bypass allows selected players to keep their head armor.
• Respects Rust items that are marked as non-droppable.
• Ignores NPCs and only processes real players.
• Works automatically without requiring players to use commands.

🎯 Drop Modes

HeadshotDrop includes three different modes to control when equipped head armor should drop.

| Mode | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 1 - Fatal Headshot | Drops head armor when a player dies from a headshot. |
| 2 - One-Hit Fatal Headshot | Drops head armor when a headshot kills a player who was at full health and not wounded before the hit. |
| 3 - Headshot Damage | Drops head armor when a headshot meets the configured minimum damage requirement, even if the player survives. |

Example: Set the drop mode to 3 and the minimum headshot damage to 75 to make helmets drop when a qualifying headshot deals at least 75 damage.
