Pallet/Vaulting hitbox is ridiculous!

Anyone else think that the hitbox while pallet vaulting and window vaulting is too big and too OP?
I’m ALWAYS getting hit while vaulting and it’s pretty annoying at This point.
Maybe shrink the hitbox while vaulting a bit?

    This should be fixed with dedicated servers as sometimes it's just latency that screws you over

    I hope honestly. It’s crazy at this point because it’s forever happening for me. @PhantomMask20763 said:

    Can we killers also get the stun hitbox narrowed down a bit. Because the it is NOT the size of the pallet.

    with any luck, the way pallet toss vaccuming, blocking, hitboxes, etc will all get retooled when the change occurs. It feels like as of now survivors pretty much have to throw it before the killer is even under the pallet, and as killer you need to stop a good few feet early to not get phantom-smacked by it. I know the killer's collision boxes are bigger than the survivors but it feels pretty silly sometimes :/

    I agree. The killers shouldn’t be getting stunned by phantom pallets when they’re 30 feel away(hypothetically of course).
    the killers seem to get hit by a pallet drop when they’re not even that close to it and it’s a load of bull.
    but in that matter we should also get a fix for the pallet drop stun when the killer has a survivor on their shoulder because almost every time I drop a pallet on the killer, they basically morph away from it after and they don’t get stunned and drop the survivor.

    If you can reach your arm through a window, a killer should be able to too.

    If a killer is picking up a survivor and you drop a pallet on them it makes no difference if they are locked in animation. You're probably dropping it too early because I rescued a survivor from the killers shoulder today with a pallet. You just have to watch the animation and I wait till the survivor is on the shoulder and count about 1 second and drop the pallet. This will become easier when they slow back down pickup but regardless it still will not work if it's during the pickup animation. Also the vaulting and pallet hit boxes are ridiculous I get hit regardless whether I should or not this needs to be fixed!

    I don't think anyone takes issue with the hits through the window that the killer could legitimately reach. But it really is bull crap when you are running away from the killer, fast vault a window, and the killer hits you after your feet hit the ground on the other side. There is just no way the killer could have closed that much distance and still hit through the window. I've been on both sides of this. Where I know full well that a swing shouldn't have connected, but miraculously did. You can only blame so much of it on lag too.

    My experience is the complete opposite.
    As a killer I often miss vaulting survivor when I thought that should have been a hit.

    If you only play survivor you obviously would never notice how it is from the other side.

    I 100% see where you’re coming from on this.
    yes I’m a survivor main but I’ll play killer as well.
    lastnight I was playing killer and should’ve hit a meg that vaulted but I didn’t.(even though i swung while she JUST got into the vaulting animation.)
    so I definitely see what you mean there but regardless the hit boxes are so messed up that either way the survivors are being screwed over as well as the killer is.
    they need to find a balance between so that it’s all fair game.
    as of right now, the hitboxes are very broken and unbalanced.
    hopefully we’ll get a fix for that with the new update/dlc coming within the next few days.
