Is it just me or is the Atlas' head hitbox enormous now?

Absolutely a change was made. I've been headshot in two rounds in a row now, and not by seemingly elite players.

[Aym]

Reminds me of Closed Beta when Atlai were headshotted with abandon until they fixed the issue. Well, hopefully it'll get addressed soon.

I dont use atlas, but i have not seen any atlas being head shotted, nor have I been able to pull off such shots
some one should compile some video evidence.

(terrible music and pointless/abrasive special effects optional)

I have been playing since closed Beta and have rarely died from a head shot.. Tonight.. after the patch.. I have died almost ever 2 of 3 games to a headshot.. a few times straight off with no other damage.

ok so I just confirmed that the founders atlas head hitbox is much larger than it should be.

Im not sure if it affects the other atlases too, I havent tested it yet.

I have ghosted many other atlas after I've died. So far I've only seen/experienced the Founders Atlas as having a HUGE!!! head hit box now..

Maybe it was just me, but something seemed different in the way I was damaging "LARGER" enemy mechs.

Wow. Not only do they STILL not do anything about Spiders, they make the mechs that Spiders annoy the most easier to hit and kill. Great job, guys. Fml...

[Sagamore]

Founder's Atlas doesn't get any love. No repaints, no geometry changes and now a borked head hitbox!

[SgtKinCaiD]

PGI updated the atlas model (ballistic/missile on torso : you see what weapons are equiped now) and apparently screw the founder.
It's wierd though because one would believe that every variant of a chassis use the same hitboxes template.

I just confirmed with other friends, it is in fact only the founders Atlas with the issue.

[Rattlehead NZ]

Headshot 4 games in a row in the founders Atlas. Last time i was killed with LRMS to the head. And i just got a nice kit i enjoy on it since i havent used it in ages.

[MustrumRidcully]

Weird, I thought the Founder Atlas was the mech that hadn't been touched yet by the changes?

[Aym]

Seems like they stopped halfway through changing things perhaps?

It's a bug, fool. That means unintentional. I've very little in the way of expectations for PGI at this point, but this kind of response is just...asinine.

Except that the Founders mechs use, quite specifically, different geometry (most obvious with the Catapult's nose). Different geometry means different hitboxes.

That actually makes some sense. Rather than loading the new setup with the deformable geometry (which would include new hitboxes), they accidentally load an old geometry for the Founders variant. Hence it logically ends up with old hitboxes and no weapon deformation. Which is the observed situation.

[Livewyr]

Hello to our Loyal public! We appreciate you buying the founders programs that included the Atlas! While we appreciated your patronage in acquiring a standard variant with 25% more cbills, we are looking to make our new Hero mech stand out as better in many many ways.

You can paint it!
It earns more cbills!
It has a completely different loadout!
and now
We've made the founders Atlas a death trap!

Not liking the founders Atlas anymore? Fear not! For 30+ dollars, you can get the Boar's Head!

Thank you for your ¿continued? patronage.

Founder's Atlas gets new love. Slow ETA to repaints, and new geometry changes featuring a borked head hitbox!

Fixed for you.

[Odins Fist]

Yep, I forgot to mention my friend was running the founders Atlas, and he has confirmed it is being headshot very easily after yesterday's patch..

He isn't happy.

"Is it just me or is *insert mech I use here* suffering from a too big head/CT hitbox?"

Thats what all these threads sounds like to me...

[itiziDITKA]

I have played nearly 2000 matches and had never headshot an atlas (well maybe I have, but not intentionally). I saw this thread, jumped into a match that happened to have a founders atlas in it and promptly head-shotted it without any trouble. I'm definitely not a great shot, and it was certainly way too easy. It needs to be fixed.

I appreciate that you verified and then posted and commented,
I think many people have figured it out... Founders Atlas! Easy Kill!

I like playing with my Founder's Atlas since it's fun to zombie every now and then. Apparently, the way to kill it now is the same way you need to kill a zombie - with the same amount of ease.
