2 levels difference isn't much (Destiny)

at 2%, most of the time you won't even need an extra bullet, and the more impact a weapon has the lower the effect of the reduction. A red hand will still be doing 87 dmg a shot, and with a goal of about 200 dmg, you are going to need 3 shots, same as if you were the same level.

It would take a 42% reduction to require an extra head shot, and a 30% reduction to require an additional body shot.

So if you are lower level, switch to high impact weapons and you minimize the IB scaling effect.
