For those unfamiliar with the term, hitboxes refer to the invisible area on a character model that registers being hit by attacks. The term is most often discussed in the fighting game community, with characters being ranked in competitive play partially based on elements like the size and functionality of their hitboxes. In Apex Legends , hitboxes typically only matter in ranged combat, as close-range melee attacks don't tend to clip the edges of hit boxes in the same way a spray of bullets mi


Why, many might wonder, would anyone pay the price of eight full-price AAA games on cosmetic items for a single free-to-play game? The answer isn't simple and could vary from player to player, but a solid start can be found in a number of gambling commissions' findings that loot boxes manipulate players' minds much in the same way games of chance do - in other words, their mechanics are almost identical to that of gambling.
