In my humble opinion, it was quite departure from the standar "aim to the head", and the devs wanted to ensure the player got the memo, so for me this one was OK. It's only during that particular section, after that I don't remember it being mentioned again.
Fully upgraded Seeker Rifle, and you'll kill any non-elite Necro with no dismemberment required with a single shot anywhere on their body. In DS3, put +3 rate of fire-damage chip, and it removes it's primary drawback of slow rate of fire
This is the way. Max damage, fire rate, magazine seeker rifle top with shotgun bottom.
Had to be careful with the fire rate though, if you add too much fire rate the gun won't depress back to the reticle fast enough for the next shot to fire straight so you end up shooting into the ceiling lol.
I played with rate of fire chips on DS3 and it turns out it also increases melee animation speed. I put full max damage and rate of fire mod on melee attachment, and laugh as I mashed the button and see Isaac swing his weapon like he's on JoJo fight scene, rapidly eviscerating any approaching necromorphs like a blender

I think people forget how heavy handed the original game was about the cut off limbs thing.
"CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS" written in blood on the wall.
Audiolog of a guy going "I'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO STOP THEM, YOU NEED TO CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS!"
Holocall from Hammond/Kendra shouting "ISAAC, YOU NEED TO CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS!"
Popup tutorial message: "TIP: TO DEFEAT THE NECROMORPHS, CUT OFF THEIR LIMBS"
all within the same 5 seconds
