Fix the Head On Hitbox

Head On is pretty broken and no one seems to be talking about it. The hitbox for coming out of the locker lasts longer than it should and has a ridiculous reach on the killer. Several times in the past week (and this has been going on for a bit now), I’m getting stunned at ranges that seem way out of the way of the survivor and locker. It happens a lot when I’m baiting head on because I know someone is in the locker. I go to back away and if I do as touch the giant hitbox with the slightest pixel it puts me into the stun. Sometimes the stun is delayed as well, as if the hitbox is lasting longer than the animation of the survivor jumping out the locker. Please look into fixing this because it is pretty busted. I know latency may be causing the issue at times but even as survivor I notice it looks off at times on my end.

    I think nobody complains about it because the perk is at best meme tier / bad.

    As a killer, I would much rather someone run head-on that something like DS / SB.

    Well. Killers like huntress have a broken hitbox too in her hatchet.

    and ghost face power is broken (you look at him and cant’t reveal him)


    i guess it’s fair that head on Hitbox is big.

    plus it’s more of a meme perk

    It's intentional. They don't want you easily baiting it out lol they want the perk to stun you. It's one of the perks survivors find the most fun so of course its been buffed to being unavoidable.

    The hitbox is the same for the entire animation and extends about as far as the doors can go out

    So just wait until the locker closes completely and the survivor starts running. Don't think you can get them as the doors are swinging back in. If you know its coming just don't be impatient and it will never hit you.

    Latency is why :)
