For those who don't know (you probably do)

Hitboxes in Forsaken are weird; like the notorious Jason hitbox

CLIENTSIDE HITBOX

The reason on why you can't hit shots

When you are a survivor, killer hitboxes are more likely to hit you due to latency errors; so on the killer's screen it shows that they hit you, even though it doesn't connect on your screen, of course this is unfair and it IS a reasonable excuse for why you died.

Jason hitbox is more annoying since his hitbox is much more long and fit for chasing.

EXPLOTING

Know the difference

More likely than not, if you are a very far distance from the killer you shouldn't be taking damage. If you are hit while long range AND the killer is walking; they are exploiting.

If you are in a close chase and take damage despite being outside the hitbox; that is not exploiting

Shouldn't have to say that but there are people out there that I've met that have called people hackers over clientside hitboxes.

HOW TO AVOID THESE ISSUES

Tips on avoiding these hitboxes

A good tip on avoiding janky hits are moving sideways more often; unless the killer turns while hitting you should be in the clear.

Looping around the killer is also very effective, although very risky; you have to angle it right.

Juking the killer also puts you out of the hit zone for janky hitboxes.
