[p]Hey Warlocks![/p][p]This week we've taken another look at monster hitboxes and made improvements to many monsters across all chapters to ensure more accurate and responsive combat. Here's what that means:[/p]

• [p]We've implemented general improvements to hitbox placement and size for most enemies across all Chapters.[/p]
• [p]For flying monsters like the Cacobot (Chapter 1) and Demonface (Chapter 2), we've specifically changed their hitbox type from body to head. This means every shot you land on them will now register as a headshot - pretty fitting, since they're essentially just flying heads with guns![/p]
