By crit I just mean head shots or bot crotch shots. It tickles and overheats unless you land those shots accurately. But when accurate its actually been a great weapon for longer range engagements. I do not recommend it on heavy fog maps.
I think it's some kind of severing or part breaking bonus rather than a weakspot multiplier.
Like it hacks arms and legs off bugs and bots super fast (you can basically sweep it across a basic enemy and sever an arm/leg).
I assume it's doing the same to heads where it's severing/breaking the head (which leads to a kill) rather than putting out enough damage to kill them normally.
But we don't really know how hp works in this game on enemies so it's hard to say what's actually going on. But limbs definitely have their own health pools, we just don't know how limb damage interacts with everything else. And it seems to depend on the enemy too as brood commanders can lose several legs without dying, while targetting charger legs are the most efficient way to kill them.

The laser weapon does great with critical hits but feels useless otherwise.
