What is the difference between Weapon Accuracy and Critical Hit Accuracy?
When viewing statistics for various heroes under Career Profile, most heroes have a Weapon Accuracy and a Critical Hit Accuracy stat.
I assume that "critical hit" refers to headshots, and "weapon accuracy" is how accurate you are with a weapon, of course.
What I don't understand is what "critical hit accuracy" is. How is this different from "weapon accuracy"?
Best Answer
Weapon Accuracy: Out of all of the shots you fired, how many you hit. For example: out of 100 Shots fired, 50 shots hit, so you have 50% Weapon Accuracy.
Critical Hit Accuracy: Out of all the shots you hit, how many were critical (headshots). For example, out of 200 shots fired, 100 shots hit, but 20 were criticals, so you have 20% Critical Hit Accuracy.
And going a step further, Widowmaker has a special stat called Scoped Critical Accuracy, which is the accuracy for criticals dealt while scoped (so the SMG shots don't count)

Whats a good weapon accuracy?
Every other accuracy is basically unimportant. With Soldier you want to aim for above 40% weapon accuracy and above 6% crit accuracy. Ana you want to have 60% accuracy scoped and unscoped. Zen you definitely want to have more than 10% crit with above 30% regular accuracy.Whats a good weapon accuracy for Widowmaker?

Answer 2
It's the percentage of how much of your shots are critical hits. Basically, if you have 10 shots in your record and 2 of them are headshots for example, your critical hit accuracy would be 20%.
I do not know whether or not missed shots are counted in this stat, however.
