Apex Legends has gone down a storm with players at the moment, as it has gathered millions of fans due to its unique take on the battle royale genre, but things can't always be perfect, as YouTuber SookieSpy has recently posted a video showcasing hitbox issues with lovable robot character Pathfinder.

Basically, when compared to other characters like Bloodhound SookieSpy shows that you can deal damage to Pathfinder without hitting him directly, since the hitboxes are quite rough and nowhere near as neat. This applies to his feet, hands, between his legs, and all around his character model.

Respawn was asked to check this out on Reddit and a representative said: "Sure! We are definitely aware of it and we were actually discussing it today. I can't say anything more for now but we hear you guys."

Message received then, and Pathfinder is getting a lot of love at the moment. Twitch Prime users can get a special skin for the robot after all, along with five Apex Packs too.

Have you noticed hitbox issues with Pathfinder?

Thanks, PC Gamer.
