As a devout user of the handy cannon - finest primary class, and if you disagree you're wrong - I've always gone for head shots as the weapon both demands and rewards tip-top accuracy. It's always narked me that Vex goblins (standard variety and hob) don't go down after one cannon shot when they should do, like everything else not yellow.
I found out why by accident last night. Despite play time so far of around 170 hours, I have only just discovered that Vex heads are in their middles. Shoot that white bit in the centre of gravity and they shatter in one bullet, assuming your primary is strong enough. If it isn't use a cannon.
Am I the last person in the game to learn this? (Obviously this does not apply to a good sniper that takes them down in one anyway.)

Yeah, shooting them in what you would normally assume is their head will just agro them. Most the vex critical hit point is centre of mass.
Scout rifles and the suros with slow fire rate while aiming down sites are much better than canons ;-)

If u've played in a fireteam with me u know that gives me great satisfaction and distaste when another member finishes them off b4 i can HaDoKen them LOL

throwing knife to the head wins every time (its all in the reflexes)

There must be someone else who didn't know it. If not, I should get a trophy.

I kind of discovered it accidently but I can’t kick the habit of going for the head shot, still it's a nice little mechanic put in by bungie.
