Close up bugs the hitbox?

[Maddoxx]

This is a very common frustration for me, when playing.

One good example: i am using the 9mm as a Sharp Lv 6 and get 1-kill headshots on trash from distance, but when a trashzed, like a clot, gets too close, i many times have to headshot multiple times before i get a decap. This is very true also with gorefast!

Is this a bug? It makes me waste ammo and risk of getting harmed...for no apparent reason! I should be able to decap a trashzed from distance or close up at the same rate!

Have read from some other post that when a zed is too close, this can affect a weapons effectiveness? Like with the Xbow? Close up is supposed to mean that a zed is pushing the weapon back to your chest, so you are not supposed to use it effectively ( this is due to wanting to achieve some kind of realism? )?

Anyway, i consider this "close-up=less effective weapon" issue to be quite bothersome!

Maybe the muzzle of the gun is like.. Inside the hitbox of the zed? So it never counts as an impact or some shizzle like that.

It's especially true for bloats

As I was training my Sharp Shooter perk, I noticed that when I was using the crossbow, I would miss nice and wide....And somehow kill the zed still? Or maybe I hit the top of the head, but an arm would come off.

Gotta love bugs at times.

Same thing happens when you try to stun a scrake with a axe. Hitbox messes up.

Shotgun pellets spawn a little way away from you, so if you're hugging a zed then they'll spawn inside his body or out the far side of him and not harm him AFAIK, but AFAIK it's the only gun type to do that.

you are missing because it takes time for the hitbox to reset after a bodyshot, and no doubt you are spamming at him multiple times if he is in close vicinity, because there is no time for the hitbox to reset before he grabs you. there is little you can do but power him down with bodyshots, this is especially aggravating when gorefasts hitboxes derp, and this seems to happen quite a bit.

"Point-blank shotguns blasts that kill the second Gorefast but not the first," I'm looking at you. -_-

Nah you need to stand at a distance from the sc to get the stun. I've always noticed this but never thought it was to do with hitboxes, moreso the length of the axe (hitting it with the axe handle isn't going to do much, right?)

I've noticed this with an FP, when using the Claymore, if I'm up close and try swinging it across his neck, if I'm too close, no visible stun, same with a Scrake.

(FP Stun, when he rages, but doesn't sprint at you for the first few minutes, if that nice snapping sound is heard...)

when gorefasts hitboxes derp out, there will be plenty of blood spilled, before it is killed

[vealck]

Bah. There were times when scrake's hitbox was in his armpit
