Headshots in Orcs Must Die?

I am wondering if are there any benefits in making headshots in Orcs Must Die!? I mean except the fact that you can take down an orc faster.

Solution 1:

There's no real benefit of headshots game play-wise, other than killing the enemies faster.

However, if you're looking to get a decent high score racked up, the headshots can be usable in a few ways:

• Keeping the killstreak going between traps.
• Getting a higher combo multiplier.

Note: Both of these points can be done without headshots, thus making it a lot harder. However, it does also require a lot of skill, to hit the headshots at the exact time you need to.
