However, when taking a look at each one, they are actually divided between those that detect hits on the attacking side and those that detect hits on the target\u2019s side. For those that calculate on the attacking side, no matter how it looks to the player being attacked, they\u2019re going to take damage if the attack lands on the attacker\u2019s screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the opposite side, for weapons that calculate on the target\u2019s side, even if it looks to the attacker like their shot landed, if the target avoids the attack on their screen, they don\u2019t take damage. We\u2019ve all experienced thinking we hit a shot or dodged an attack only for the damage to say otherwise. This is the reason for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@rougsmth looked into each weapon to figure out which side the hits are detected on. To do this, they used the pose feature in Recon private matches. This is because the feature makes the player not take damage from attacks that detect hits on the target\u2019s side. To summarize the results, main weapons, apart from those that can separate from the player, generally detect hits on the attacker\u2019s side.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30c1\u30e3\u30fc\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u306e\u5404\u653b\u6483\u306e\u30c0\u30e1\u30fc\u30b8\u5224\u5b9a\u304c\u653b\u6483\u5074\u4f9d\u5b58\u304b\u3001\u88ab\u5f3e\u5074\u4f9d\u5b58\u304b\u3092\u691c\u8a3c\u3057\u305f\u52d5\u753b <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Bd9wfqI2Xl\">pic.twitter.com\/Bd9wfqI2Xl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b9\u30e0\u30b9 (@rougsmth) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rougsmth\/status\/1632256171112529920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>Video showing whether each charger detects hits on the attacker or target\u2019s side.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So what kinds of weapons have hit detection on the target\u2019s side? They tend to be the more autonomous projectiles, or more specifically, many of the game\u2019s sub weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When compared to the game\u2019s main weapons, sub weapons often work more independently. They might move on their own before blowing up or activate after being set up. On the other hand, sub weapons like the Angle Shooter are fired directly at other players, and the hit detection is done on the attacker\u2019s side like a main weapon.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30b5\u30d6\u30a6\u30a7\u30dd\u30f3\u306e\u5404\u653b\u6483\u306e\u30c0\u30e1\u30fc\u30b8\u5224\u5b9a\u304c\u653b\u6483\u5074\u4f9d\u5b58\u304b\u3001\u88ab\u5f3e\u5074\u4f9d\u5b58\u304b\u3092\u691c\u8a3c\u3057\u305f\u52d5\u753b <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MdTuLWT0NT\">pic.twitter.com\/MdTuLWT0NT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30b9\u30e0\u30b9 (@rougsmth) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rougsmth\/status\/1632259438567636992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 5, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>Video showing whether each sub weapon detects hits on the attacker or target\u2019s side.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When looking at the results, there\u2019s a trend of weapons that fire directly from the attacker being detected on the attacker\u2019s side. If a weapon\u2019s behavior involves separating from the attacker, it\u2019s detected on the target\u2019s side. There are also cases where a weapon seems to fall into both categories because its direct and splash damage are calculated separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, things get a little complicated when it comes to special weapons. The Reefslider is a directly attacking weapon, but it detects hits on the target\u2019s side. The Trizooka is another special weapon that detects hits on the target\u2019s side despite it behaving similarly to a shooter or charger weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also been frustrated in situations where it looked like I didn\u2019t get hit by a charger but took damage anyway. While reading @rougsmth\u2019s work still doesn\u2019t make me happy about it, it does make it an easier pill to swallow. Having access to this kind of objective data may be handy going forward.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
