Valorant phantom whipsplash

Does anyone get that animation when you're shot by phantom where it completely messes up your aim. Sorta like it shakes your aim. I only notice it when you are shot by phantoms? I don't think I have ever had that from a vandal

Cuz vandal headshot kills you instantly
phantom headshot does 140 on long range

called aim punch
when u get dinked and not killed
its so annoying

In many games getting headshot applies flinch. This is because being hit in the head by something travelling very fast will cause your head to move. Vandal headshot kills you, so it doesn’t apply flinch outside of non lethal wall bangs, where it is absolutely noticeable. Flinch generally increases with damage dealt. As the phantom deals the most damage of any non 1shot weapon, it applies the most flinch.
