Have you ever wondered why you might have been missing your shots in Battlefield 2042? Well, I was thinking of this but couldn’t comprehend the exact reasoning behind it until I was pretty confident the other day. Significant lag and issues are also there, which could be one of the reasons for the distorted hitboxes. So, have you ever noticed your bullets missing a perfectly resting guy on the field?
This is not just a talk out of my mind, but there was a guy named NickelFPS who had performed some testing on different specialists, and it seems that some of them have wider hitboxes. Sundance, on the other side, the notorious assault character which specialty is a wingsuit, has much tighter hitboxes than the others, and hitting her in the shoulder may not account at all. A real bummer.
Hitboxes have always been an issue in video games, and everyone wants to take advantage of that once they acknowledge which character they perform the best on. For example, Apex Legends had the same issue for which the developer had to fine-tune the hitboxes for balancing purposes. One of them was Pathfinder, who had met that demand multiple times.
