Headshot Damage

Simple question: How much does a headshot amplify weapon damage?

2x? 3x?

Thanks

3x for head, 1.3x for upper body, 0.6x for lower body.

So you never actually do 1.0x damage?

You do 1.0x against shieldless dekas (unless they're rolling and don't have hull 3, in which case they take 2.0x).

SBD also has no locational hit modifiers (so probably 1.0x everywhere), but incoming damage is then reduced based on battery. I'm not sure if that battery-based damage reduction only applies to the special SBD armors or not, the in-game library isn't very specific about how it works. As far as I'm concerned the entire SBD battery mechanic is dark magic.
