Can we talk about Freddy's hitbox?
I know the devs said that all killers/survivors have the same hitbox to make the game more fair, but how someone like Wraith never hit me through windows but Freddy always does even with the new vaults that don't suck u back in?
Here's a pic for reference u can see my legs at the bottom of the picture.
Keep in mind he was coming from the stairs and lunged forward as i vaulted it. Doesn't it seem weird how its always Freddy with the weird hits? This is just a discussion if anyone else experiences the same thing only with Freddy.

I did always notice Freddy seemed to get longer hits through windows/pallets when I started playing him.
Buuut this was when I was new to the game, so when people started saying it was just an animation thing I dismissed it.
(Personally, I’m still sort of suspicious, bare in mind I am a killer main)

All the hitboxes are the same, what causes hits to look so ridiculous with freddy are his height, latency, and the size of his weapon.

I don't know what the word for it is, but it's your mind playing a 'trick' on you.
When something appears smaller than it actually is, you'll react differently, as you see it as a miss, and because you see it happening from such a range, you'll remember it more than if a Wraith slightly missed you from your side but still hit.
In this case, judging by the photo, it was most likely latency, although I can't guarentee.

considering its this window you probably did a medium vault. You can get hit from medium vaults for way longer/far than from fast vaults (my own experience, nothing official etc). Freddy is a small character that doesnt really carry a big weapon (claws are not big and extend while lunging) like the wraith or trapper, so it looks weird if you compare it to them. Also latency / killer sided hit detection is an issue as well. It might look like you vaulted on your end, but on his end (due to HIS bad connection) you're still vaulting. This will be changed at some point this year (it was announced I think at the 4yr anniversary or Q&A stream before that) to a server sided hit detection.
But until then it feels like this:

Honestly I wish he had gotten that as a power. Extendo arm attack that's very quick but only works on asleep survivors would've been so cool and very much a Freddy move.
OP His power is famous for causing slow vaults (not sure if you were subject to that or not in the pic) and the way his model is forces the game to stretch him to have the same lunge as other killers who have a weapon in their model which helps make that distance look normal as opposed to him having to swing his hand very close to you.

Freddy, Billy & Nurse have the longest lunge in the game. I dont think that Devs are very serious with saying everyone has the same lunge range or hitbox. Playing the game for nearly 3k hours and i can feel the difference between these 3 killers and other ones.
One of the reasons why i hate to play against Freddy.
