Now you can blame your miserable Apex Legends kill stats on your character’s hitbox size

You, me, whoever. The important thing is – it’s totally probably maybe not about skill, so shut up and stop choosing Wraith because that’s cheating. According to users on Reddit, anyway, who claim that some character’s hitboxes are disproportionately sized in comparison with the actual game model. And the evidence supports it.

In this video, SookieSpy demonstrates how, for example, Bloodhound and Pathfinder have very different hitbox sizes, despite the game models being more or less the same size.

Obviously, bigger game models like Caustic and Gibraltar have bigger hitboxes too, but whether or not this is okay is also somewhat controversial – as this proposal that every character’s hitbox be the same size proves.

In the meantime, though, Respawn is apparently looking into the issue. “We are definitely aware of it and we were actually discussing it today,” community manager Jay Frechette explains in response to a question about it. “I can’t say anything more for now but we hear you guys.”
