Damage

A damage multiplier in the Battlefield series allows weapons to deal increased damage to vulnerable areas of the body or vehicle, or for better-protected areas to take reduced damage.

In most titles, the character's head takes increased damage, while limbs take less damage. Body armor, certain gadgets and specializations may alter damage multipliers. Certain weapon classes in later titles may use different multipliers.

All vehicle-related damage details are covered in Vehicle damage. In general, vehicles take the same amount of damage as infantry, adjusted by their own multipliers, but benefit from greater health.
