Can I land Headshots with Ana?

Writer Emily Wong

Ana is Overwatch's Support sniper who shoots people to heal them.

Like Widowmaker, Ana has a scope. Unlike Widowmaker, Ana doesn't seem to get any benefit from scoping, other than the zoom.

Can Ana's biotic rifle shots land headshots? I notice that she doesn't have a "Critical Headshots" stat tracker either...

I'm assuming you mean critical hits on headshots. There's no explanation other than no - she will not get a critical hit when landing a headshot.

There is actually a benefit to scoping in with Ana. While she cannot score headshots, her projectile speed changes based on zoom. While scoped in, her projectiles are hitscan and cannot be deflected by Genji. When not scoped in, her projectiles have travel time and can be deflected.

(Hitscan vs projectile source)

(Genji reflect for scoped and non-scoped source)
