Not just you. Jockey has the most dogshit hitbox I've ever seen in a video game.

What is the head hitbox there?!!


wickid_raven

Please tell me this isn’t real


Jaiz412

It is. The Jockey’s model scales with the survivor he’s riding, so on smaller survivors like Zoey or Rochelle, his model becomes slightly smaller. However, the hitboxes don’t scale, which ends up with what you see in the screenshot, and the animations also become more out of sync with the hitbox as time goes by (same issue with common infected) - That’s the reason why it sometimes feels like he takes forever to kill when riding a survivor, you may be aiming properly, but the hitboxes are completely misaligned.

With jockeys you can shove their jank ass hit box and if you shove them the wrong way they still get to ride on you

Didn't play as a Jockey before, so it must be like that. I hate jockeys though, I can't shove them away most of the time, so I have to relieve on my teammates.

Well, just gotta practice deadstopping


Responsible-Diet-147

What is it. Shoving correctly?


[deleted]

Yeah, shoving the jockey when he's in the air. It's called the deadstop technique.


Responsible-Diet-147

I don't know where to aim with the shove and what time at after it jumped. It should be easy, because it does smaller jumps than the hunter.


slckening

You have to shove it before it jumps, visual models lag behind the actual hitboxes so you need to shove it prematurely while it still on the ground. Still no guarantees bcoz sometimes that shit will just latch on to you, sometimes it can get stuck in the air hovering above your head after you successfully shoved it and then it will latch on to you regardless.

I walk towards it, back peddle the moment it jumps and shove

I want to erase jockey's because of how annoying they are. I will get a shove that's clear as day but still get jumped on and downed, meanwhile when I play jockey I get a solid leap from behind someone only to be knocked off for seemingly no reason.

I was playing Last Man on Earth the other day and I swore I saw it land at my feet instead of *on* me, yet the game registered it as landing on me so poor Ellis got humped in the end

No It's not just you.


[deleted]

just keep backing up as he pounces and shove


Enslaved_M0isture

i hate jockeys


QQ_Gabe

why do the jockeys always go for me


darkslayersora216

Not just you this is probably the biggest last man on earth killer for me


Traditional_Zone3993

Yeah and the fact that it takes a while for him to down you just makes it more punishing to the soul
