For those unfamiliar with the term, hitboxes refer to the invisible area on a character model that registers being hit by attacks. The term is most often discussed in the fighting game community, with characters being ranked in competitive play partially based on elements like the size and functionality of their hitboxes. In Apex Legends , hitboxes typically only matter in ranged combat, as close-range melee attacks don't tend to clip the edges of hit boxes in the same way a spray of bullets miApex Legends  is available for free now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For more on the game, you can read our full review  and our recent editorial going into what Apex Legends  needs to do to stand out  from the rest of the battle royale pack.  
Apex Legends launched with eight main characters, as well as the unlockable Caustic and Mirage. Fans knew it wouldn't be long before the character choices would expand, and now, players might have their first look at who's coming next. Most of the names are completely new, but the inclusion of Prophet has piqued the interest of the gaming commun  
Most notably, the gun comes with two fire modes - Full-auto and Hitscan Beam - and is the only weapon in the game that can utilize two hop-ups, being the ever-important Turbocharger, as well as the Select Fire. Keep that in mind when scavenging for loot, since the Turbocharger reduces the gun’s spin-up time when in auto mode, saving you the heartbreak of missing out on downing an enemy while the gun charges up for a solid second before firing. Additionally, the Hitscan Beam mode - which switches the fire mode to a single charged shot - can only be used when a Select Fire is equip  
One major addition has already made its way to King’s Canyon: a new gun, fittingly named "Havoc." The versatile weapon is a welcome addition to the battlefield for whichever character you favor, but certainly has its own quirks that players will need to keep in mind while using it.

It's worth nothing that while Caustic and Gibraltar are both larger than Pathfinder, their hitboxes are actually tighter to their character model. Having characters with various sizes of hitboxes isn't imbalanced, as there is typically a trade-off for that increased exposure. For Pathfinder, though, it appears pretty clear that the Legend's hitboxes aren't functioning properly, which is likely why Respawn is going to fix the issue sooner rather than la  
The Havoc is definitely a high-powered weapon, but is surprisingly easy to control in terms of recoil. However, short to mid-range distances are recommended while in full-auto fire mode - creating a feel similar to the Devotion light machine gun. Hitscan Beam fire mode, on the other hand, is best suited for longer distances, creating a shooting experience similar to that of a sniper rifle like the Scout, or even a fresh take on the classic railgun from the _ Quake _ franch  
Even though players know a new character named Octane will release in week eight of Apex Legends (March 25- April 1), there's no news on when Prophet will drop. Players should bear in mind that Respawn has yet to make an official announcement or respond to the rumors of Prophet. Also, if there's only one new character per season, there could be a bit of a wait before gamers get to see Prophet in action. Thankfully, with Season 1 of Apex ** Legends ** launching in March, there won't be long to wait to see what's included and how many new characters are suiting up for bat  
Redditor BAE339 shared their cautionary tale with the Apex Legends community on the game's subreddit, explaining that they were trying to snag the game's incredibly elusive Heirloom Set for Wraith, the void-jumping Legend who's grown notorious for being hard to shoot . So far, this is the only Heirloom Set offered in Apex Legends , meaning that Wraith mains - like BAE339 - are feeling the pressure to acquire her unique kunai melee weapon skin, banner pose, and intro quip before additional sets for other Legends lower their odds even further. Rationalizing their mounting number of purchases with publisher EA's guarantee of an Heirloom Set drop within every 500 Apex Packs bought, they quickly found themselves hitting the ceiling of that rule before finally acquiring the set on their 500th attempt. Expecting ridicule (and receiving a fair bit of it among an otherwise supportive response), BAE339 refle  
A YouTube video from user SookieSpy briefed players on the state of Apex Legends tips|Https://apexgamepulse.Com/ Legends ' hitbox situation, and for the most part, things appear quite good. For context, players can sometimes shoot through Bloodhound's feathers without the game registering a hit, meaning that the hitboxes are tight on most models. Unfortunately, though, the robot Pathfinder appears to register hits that appear outside of a normal range. Basically, if a Pathfinder players has complained about getting hit more often than they should, they were actually onto something - the character is much easier to hit than basically any other in the g
