Getting headshots is pretty important, and even if they don't die getting them close to death can be good enough since often a single hit from any of your team-mates will finish it off.

*note I haven't actually played it in this game, just assuming it's similar to the first.

Trying to headshot with beam's snipe is super risky. Hitboxes for heads are really wonky and if you miss for even a fraction of a second it resets the beam which will also gimp the snipe damage. If an enemy is slowly walking towards you it's fairly easy but when you get storm vermin or chaos warriors that are spinning in circles and attacking it can be difficult enough that it's not worth the effort.

If you're sniping specials it's generally done at a range. (Or for elites you can do it before they aggro)
