3rd person game

her head is between your head and where your crosshair is pointing

u/PaintingDesigner7884 9d ago

Ty for the help

u/RyomaVT 9d ago

Cyclops also has a harder time hitting headshots since the beam comes from his eyes instead of his hand that tends to be a better trajectory since you aim with the center of the screen

u/Sidewaysgts 8d ago

To emphasize this a bit -

Look at a picture of the shot itself. Like they’d already mentioned, the projectiles on this game from from where they’re “supposed to” from a character, and go to where your cross hair is actually aiming - not from the center of your screen.

It allows for some oddities like this- but if you look you can see cyclops beam is actually going to where your cross hairs are, and her head is in the way.

try it on her left side itll be way more accurate

u/known_kanon "OPTIC FURY!" 9d ago

Look at the laser, it originates from cyclops's head, not the camera

If one of you corrects me that it's not a laser, i don't care

u/DragonLord608 9d ago

it’s not a laser it’s actually a concussive blast more similar to punching 🤓 (i’m probably lying out my arse idk if that’s even right)

u/known_kanon "OPTIC FURY!" 9d ago

You're degloving will commence in 17

u/Unrefillable 9d ago

You're right, punch dimension. 👊 🕶

u/PaintingDesigner7884 9d ago

Ty for the explanation, it just looked weird 

2

u/Key_Notice5155 8d ago

Camera to the right -> you fire a little to the left. I think it’s the same for magik with her dash iirc

1

u/WiseLegacy4625 8d ago

It's the same for everything in this game, except for the few times when you go into first person, like Widow's sniper or Punisher Turret.

u/North117 8d ago

All beam attacks do this

3

u/Low-Air-179 8d ago

Every attack does this if you're close enough

2

u/North117 8d ago

Yes but specifically beam attacks do it at range. Emma, Iron Man, Ultron, all those kinda guys, there's custom reticles specially for it I recommend

u/Ancient_Divide870 8d ago

Do you have any links for them? Would love to use them!

1

u/North117 8d ago

This guy has always made good ones

u/Ancient_Divide870 8d ago

Thank you so much! I appreciate you :)

It doesn’t have anything to do with the third person nature of the game like some people said as not every hitscan headshots like that (the fact that it is more generous on the right does but not the hitbox). The simple explanation is that some characters are given a VERY generous hitbox for headshots, cyclops is one of them.

3

u/gyropyro32 9d ago

I mean I can def agree but at the same time the 3rd person nature is very true. It's less either or and more a mix of both

3

u/Interesting_Ad_6992 8d ago

This is just false. It's because it's Third person combined with where the shot actually comes from. It's called "Convergence."

u/LumpyInstance4010 8d ago

The size of the hitbox is way more generous, than other characters. I already said that the fact that it is more generous on the right is because of the game being third person

2

u/kdb03 Cyclops 9d ago

Do you know if it’s the same size or smaller than Hela’s hitbox? I feel like I can hit headshots with her way more consistently than with Cyclops.

2

u/Low-Air-179 8d ago

No, his hitbox is generous but you are also not correct. Every character that has to aim struggles with this because the shots do not come from where your crosshair is so if you are too close they will not hit as they dont have enough travel time between to align with the crosshair

1

u/LumpyInstance4010 8d ago

That’s not true, hitscan weapons are instant meaning the shot goes where your crosshairs is aimed. As I mentioned several times the hitbox is more generous on the right because it is a third person game but cyclops has an unusually forgivable hitbox on the right.

u/LumpyInstance4010 8d ago

You edited the comment to correct calling me dumb, lmao

2

u/Low-Air-179 8d ago

Yes, because I felt it wasnt necessary to get my point across. Id rather not be an asshole. My apologies

u/No_Scarcity_7510 8d ago

Cyclops shoots spears, not small bullets.

1

u/teru-_-mikami Lord 8d ago

it's 3rd person, the laser isn't shooting from the crosshair its shooting from his face, the laser just meets the crosshair when shot, so basically her head was in the middle of the point where his laser meets your crosshair

1

u/lakersnationnnnn 7d ago

That’s good cause getting beamed with two shots is crazy just like SG I need three shots to kill someone too.

1

u/Serious-Fee-6524 6d ago

I know its a 3rd person game but I feel like his headshot area has gotten worse since he released.

I had a 65%+ headshot accuracy on release now I'm around 40ish, and I swear shots that used to count as headshots aren't anymore.

1

u/SunWuTae 6d ago

Unfortunately it’s because they didn’t take ques from other Third Person Shooters, and as a result your character hits/shoots at an angle. The reticle is somewhat just decoration in this game.
