Pathfinder Hitbox
Hey there, Yesterday I really had a problem with pathfinders hitbox. I know his hitbox got fixed in one of the last patches, but now it’s like shooting a Blade of Grass. also I have seen many clip...
Forum Discussion
Can we PLEASE stop with the blatant, provable falsehoods like "You can't hit his arms or head". If we don't operate from a platform of truth to start with : why are we even bothering to talk to each other?
My main is going to be nerfed into oblivion because of bad decisions by Respawn's art department not being rejected by the design leads. I'll still play pathfinder but it's going to suck once again being the only guy on the field who ANY crap player can collect full peacekeeper hits on from any angle. Even gibraltar and caustic have holes in their backs and aesthetic crap you can't hit, but because of the amount of complaining about Pathfinder and the sheer volume of untrue statements (whether lies or misunderstandings) - I suspect he's going to be relegated to one of the least played legends again.
[edit] - To be clear, I 100% want his hitbox fixing where the small holes are. I 100% want the models reworking so that there isn't clutter that you can't hit but you can see. It's a top priority as far as I can tell. Some of this work also needs to happen on other legends but nowhere near as much as Path. What I DON'T want to have happen is a lazy nerf which takes us back to the bad old days.
Pathfinder has so many extra stuff. If you can't damage them like it's not exist, that itself is not fair.
He doesn't have flesh, so his extra stuff shouldn't bleed (take health), but it has a function, so at least it should get damage, so his ability get temporary disable for few seconds until he repair it.
If they modify that, I would be more fair to others legends.
- @asukojo You're right - but my argument is that things like the wirespools should just be removed or made as small as the stuff that can't be hit on other models like caustic's gas bottles.
If they make the wire spools etc take hits: there's no disadvantage to aiming high and spraying for headshots, as you would get bodyshots from the wires. This would be beyond bad.
If they plug the holes in his legs/hips and remove the excess garbage : you've got a guy who is literally twice the size of wraith/lifeline/octane. I don't struggle to hit default skin pathfinders at all, but this is because when all the stink around his hitbox started wafting in I got friends to come stand while I shot at them to figure out where he can and can't take hits.
The legendary skins are a pain still. I cannot understand for the life of me why they have made the legendary models so much larger. @HugoHobickaStopa1st shot - between arm and body, 2nd shot wire spool on shoulder, 3rd shot - headshot, 4th shot over the back of the guy again someone thinking they can hit the wire spools.
If you shoot the air between any other character's arms and bodies, or between their legs : you don't get hits. The only reason people think this is unfair with pathfinder is because you used to be able to get hits by shooting the air between his legs or arms/body.

so you think that 98% of people who are talking about the hitbox pathfinder, from streamers to random players
they are wrong and you're right? xD Hes hitbox is definetly broken and hes the legend with biggest mobility and ability to get high ground thats a recipe for disaster the legend who have best mobility in the game should be easy to hit not hardest
@HugoHobickaStopaIn what way do you think I'm wrong or that I'm saying I'm right? Let's be specific and honest for a change. Not paddling around in hyperbole and hearsay.
The hitbox has holes in it, this is exacerbated by problems with legendary models and aesthetic fluff meaning people don't know what they can and can't hit.
Yes. I'm right. I've stood my friends up in game and shot at them extensively to test whether or not what I'm saying is true. I've not just assumed that my shots are on point 100% of the time and any time I don't hit a pathfinder it's because of a hitbox problem.Anyone who says "You can't hit his arms/head/legs" is wrong. Especially when they use a video showing someone missing their shots as evidence :D
[edit] - It's funny, because of all the SPECIFIC things I've said, you've not replied to any of it, lol. If I'm wrong - tell me exactly where I'm wrong.
@Anlbrd Here is a falsehood "Pathfinder's hitbox is fine!" your main is broken and clearly being abused by the playerbase including you to get an unfair advantage. Why the incompetent idiots at Respawn have not addressed it yet is beyond my understanding, I have heard it's getting changed in S2 though which gives me hope that the broken legend you abuse is getting nerfed. Unlucky buddy time to reroll to the new meta.
- @BoaFang7 Literally no one is saying his hitbox is fine. Read much?
I've been using Pathfinder from a time when he was a DISADVANTAGE, and I'll continue using him. I don't use a legendary skin as they make a bad problem worse.
Wraith logo on the forum and you're going to come talking about hitbox advantages and rolling to a meta 😛
