He's the only character: his hit box is screwed up, part of the reason he's broken right now. So many characters are getting screwed because their hit boxes are getting bigger because of cosmetics. Cosmetics should NEVER impact gameplay. Fix Octanes hit box.
Do hitboxes really get bigger because of cosmetics? I can't imagine they alter a characters hitbox to take into account which skin they are using.
@PilotBAsPathfinder is the most broken legend when it come to hit box , some times I literally empty half mag of R99 into path just to hear metal sound but no damage .
In general Apex got the worst hit registration problem I ever seen in all shooter games I ever played.
a pathfinder head peeking at range isn't even worth wasting a bullet on.
@Piabetic No the hit boxes are not impact by cosmetics. They stay the same size. The Cosmetics have 0 impact on hit box size. There have been a few instances in the past in which the cosmetic is slightly bigger than the hit box, (we are talking season 3-4). If you shot the area of the cosmetic that was not part of the hit box it would not register.
How ever it was a very very very small area. 99% of players would not notice it in game. We are talking just a handful of pixels on your screen.
I have not seen any current cosmetics that do this. I also have not seen any issues with Octanes hit box.
The cosmetics and hit boxes are two entirely different codes in the game and they do not interact with each other beyond the movement animations. Try and view it as a car, you have the engine which runs the vehicle, then you have the engines body which is on top of the engine and hides it. That is how hit boxes and cosmetics basically work.
