Only the head counts
A bullet that lands anywhere but the head does no damage. Spraying at the chest wins nothing, and the first headshot decides the fight.

Only Headshots in action
What is Only Headshots?
Only Headshots is a Counter-Strike 2 mod by xplay.gg that lets a bullet do damage only when it hits the head. A spray into the chest does nothing, so every fight comes down to crosshair placement. Knives, grenades, fire and falls hurt as usual. For a softer game, body hits can keep part of their damage. The lobby picks how much a body hit keeps and whose shots the rule covers.
What you can tune
- Body damage: 0-100% of a body hit's damage, 0 means only the head counts
- Whose shots: everyone, one side, a team, random or picked players
The lobby owner changes these in the lobby's Mods tab before the match.
Why it's fun
Nades and knives still work
Only bullets are judged. A knife, an HE grenade, a molotov or a fall hurts as usual, so a grenade can still finish a fight.
Keep some body damage
Set how much of a body hit's damage a bullet keeps, from 0 to 100%. At 30% a body shot still hurts, but the head stays the fast way to win a duel.
Whose shots
Apply the rule to the shots of everyone, one side, a lobby team, random players each round or the players you pick. The rest shoot as usual.

FAQ
Do I need to install anything to play Only Headshots?
No. Only Headshots runs on the xplay.gg game server. You only need CS2 and a Steam account: connect to the match and the mod is already working.
How many players do I need for Only Headshots?
Two players are enough for a headshot-only duel. In a 5v5, apply the rule only to the stronger team's shots to even things out, or set body damage to 30% for a softer match.
Can I change the Only Headshots settings?
Yes. In the lobby's Mods tab the owner sets how much damage a body hit keeps, from 0 to 100%, and whose shots the rule covers: everyone, one side, a lobby team, random players each round or players picked from the list.
Can I combine Only Headshots with other mods?
Yes. Turn on more mods in the lobby's Mods tab. If two mods can't run together, the lobby tells you before the match starts.
Does playing mods affect my CS2 rank?
No. Personal matches on xplay.gg are separate from Valve matchmaking and don't change your Premier or Competitive rank.
