The pathfinder legendary skins are the only ones in the game that drastically alter the characters size, notably making him bigger. Does anyone know if the larger size actually affects his hitbox as well? I'm considering crafting one of the legendary skins for him, but if that makes you easier to kill it's pretty awful design.
skins have nothing to do with hit boxes
In Rainbow Six: Siege, the hit boxes were tailored to each uniform skin. There was uproar when players discovered this.
The players demanded that each operator must use the same hit box design for all of the Operator's uniform skins. Devs then made changes to hit boxes accordingly. Which often made the hit boxes slightly smaller than the uniform skins, because the skins had different distinguishing features such as headsets which the hit boxes did not have.
This then led to players complaining that they were getting blood spatter from headshots but no hit registration. That was because the new hit boxes had been made slightly smaller, but the animation from the old larger hit box still played. Which was probably because the blood spatter animation was actually linked to the appearance of the Operator rather than the hit box, and the appearance of the Operator was still the same size as it was before the hit box changes.
@Huntinwabits So, yes, skins can have something to do with hit boxes.
i wonder about pathfinders hitbox because he has chicken legs and arms and a tiny round head and no skin. even if you hit him does he bleed and if so why? i wish i could play pathfinder because the good player do and they make him look good maybe i will try pathfinder today and get better at him but its weird being a robot with chicken legs but i will try and grin and bear it.
