'Apex Legends' Player Discovers Major Issue With Pathfinder
Recently, an Apex Legends player took to Reddit to post the result of an experiment they conducted that sought to deduce the character's official hitbox, and what the player discovered was that the issue was worth than they thought. There's parts of the character that aren't a part of his hitbox, and this issue is compounded with certain skins.
As you can see, not only does this confirm there's an issue with Pathfinder's hitbox, but it also confirms that different skins don't have different hitboxes. In other words, the bigger, bulkier skins with more parts shooting off the main frame are better, because another player may think they are hitting you, but they are actually only hitting a part of the skin that isn't calculated in the hitbox.
At the moment of publishing, Respawn Entertainment hasn't addressed the issue, but given how much attention it has gotten probably means it has seen it. Hopefully a fix or tweak will arrive soon.
Apex Legends is available, for free, via the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Seems to be a recurring issue with hitboxes firtst gibraltar and caustic now pathfinder, whats next , wraiths Phase shift glitch to be constantly in it and be able to fire your weapons? or a permanent shield from lifelines D.O.C after a revive? as much as i enjoy apex Im not a huge fan of the amount of unsolved glitches, And there is many more to still be found in this game, I Found two with mirage and octane so far and i wont ever use them in game because it gives me an unfair advantage, (as much as i love to cheat on games i wont on BR's) if you hit the bamboozle and do the octane jump pad glitch it sends bamboozles across the map and you can scope out enemies that arent even near you,

That's an unfortunate side effect for users looking to gain an advantage via skins!

I wouldn't say it's a problem. Otherwise, having legendary skins would give an unfair disadvantage to the player using them. Skins are cosmetics and shouldn't affect the hitbox. I wouldn't say it's an issue.

Hotboxes have been a problem since release, they clearly don't care enough to fix the problem as a whole.
