Ever been shot through a wall or missed a perfect hit that should’ve landed? You might have encountered janky hitboxes! 🎯

In video games, every object has two aspects:
🔹 Visual model – What you see on screen.
🔹 Collider – An invisible shape that determines physics and interactions.

To save performance, developers simplify colliders into boxes or spheres. But when colliders don’t match the visual model, it leads to frustrating hit detection issues—especially in fast-paced shooters where accuracy matters.

💬 What’s the worst hitbox fail you’ve ever seen? Let us know in the comments!
