Where can I find info on hitboxes?

Headshots are crucial to take out large health pools, so my initial question may be a bit vague. Let me elaborate. Let’s assume we have a set of AABBs for bodyshot registration. And most likely just one box for the head. Thunder’s posture, as seen from the back, may lead one of the body box to obstruct the head and reduce the surface to aim. Or not, I cant test this. Am I thinking this wrong?

I don’t want to spark a debate about the design behind this, I just want to know. Arguably some FPSes out there have even weirder mecanisms than backpack models out of boxes. And it’s definately more of an asset than an hindrance for those mercs IMO. I just want to know if flanking those guys is worth it or not and wich angle I should take to initiate.

I never play snipers because if I did i would be useless, but I always otherwise aim for the neck area due the fact the recoil will make me track up and hit them in the head.

Workin’ pretty well for me, got a few topscores, even…

it looks like the problem for headshotting from behind is not the backpack but infact it’s his shoulders being so high while he keeps his head somewhat down, as you see in the picture above with the posture thunder has and the way some of his body hitbox is higher than the head hitbox it pretty much protects half of his head

Make the backpacks 2% smaller.
