Studies have shown that the optimal area to hit for headshots is the enemy's or teammates (not recommended) head.

Note that the best weapon choices for quality headshots include: The AK-74, AWP and the Scout (Steyr SSG 08)

Weapons to avoid: ANYTHING else. (please note that if you are from Russia, this excludes you as the research has shown, that the toxicity of the Russian CS GO community has given the Russian player's bullet acidic like abilities.)

Additional info:

Note: If you are a player from EU, the actual area to aim at might look like something like this:

Even though bodyshots might be easier to hit and all, the studies have shown that the amount of dopamine and testosterone released in a singular headshot is comparable to 7.2 body shots.

This results in extra muscle growth and an increase in general masculine atributes.

You might have seen players point their crosshairs into the ground whilst manuvering around the map. This is not a rookie move as some might think, but an actual tactucal advantage. You see, the studies have shown that the center of the screen is blocked by a weird colorful thing called the "crosshair"

By moving the crosshair to point at the ground the player clears the area around the enemy's possible head of any additional and useless information.

We did some research and found that the optimal place for the player to hold his/hers optics is around 2' (2 feet or 60.96 centimeters) under the height of an enemy's head. This gives the player the optimal field of view, whilst also making still easy to quickly move the crosshair over to said enemy's head.

With throughout research we have managed to scientifically prove that anime profile pictures will give you an upper hand, when trying to increase your headshot percentage.

Anime profile pictures help by granting the user massive testicles with the user can get himself in and out of situsiations they normally wouldn't even dare to try. Thus granting the user new opportunities to grow as a player (and as a person)

Examples were used in testing

Hopefully this deep dive into the inner workings of this game helped you in achieving the end result you were looking for and unlocking the inner headshot master inside of you.
