From my testing and competitive experience: You shouldn’t need arcade floating ‘124’ numbers above heads; blood splatters and hit sounds are enough.

Hey everyone,

Wanted to open up a serious discussion on Damage Indicators: Minimalist Audio Cues vs Giant Floating Numbers & Hitmarkers.

From my testing and competitive experience: You shouldn’t need arcade floating ‘124’ numbers above heads; blood splatters and hit sounds are enough.

Floating yellow numbers blocking your vision of the enemy behind the target you’re currently shooting.
