XDefiant players should be well-aware of the game’s ongoing hit registration issues, and I count myself among them. These problems should soon be a concern of the past, though, as XDefiant’s executive producer reassures fans the developer is working on a fix.
On May 27, Reddit user Demoth sparked a discussion about certain characters being much trickier to hit than others, highlighting a critical hitbox issue. De Rosa is one such character, but commenters mentioned other Cleaners have a similar problem. When you’re firing in close-range but still not getting many hits on Cleaner characters, it’s confusing and frustrating, so it’s not surprising players want to be heard.
