How Lunges Work (probably) | Roblox Daybreak 2

This game is weird.
It's hard to understand how lunges work, because of how Roblox is run internally. This means it's difficult to pinpoint if it's actually hardcoded into the game or it's just Roblox messing around.

Hello! If it wasn't clear, I'm quite slow with uploads, and this is just to say it's not going to really change. My laptop kinda died for the past two weeks, so I haven't really been able to play Daybreak during that time. Anyway, this video was more theoretical, so feel free to conduct your own tests.

[@X_ZIQUO]

This games lunges and hitboxes are so unhinged thank you for this video, it helped clear up a lot of things for me personally.

[@rexcharcoal4668]

daybreak's hitboxes and hitreg are genuinely going to be going in my note both for killer AND survivor like why do you do this to me.

[@Pointandwonder]

The lunges are so cursed sometimes, especially Unforgotten

[@TamiliaTanyi]

Agreed

[@PerChaps]

Honestly one of the best explanations for the jank in hitboxes I’ve seen ever. Unfortunately all of these aspects are too much to keep track of at once to effectively work around it, but I think this gives a proper sense to why hitboxes feel off a lot of the time. I really like this style of video, and I hope you keep going with this content because this is very educational and it comes from a fairly informed perspective.

[@nowordsbruh]

very well edited and a great explanation for how the ping dfference between different clients and servers impact hitboxes n stuff

[@llauwa]

this was actually very easy to understand even if im incredibly slow, and the examples+little diagrams really helped w it

[@Yea_Just_Bread]

Nice explanation for the game's hitbox. A little thing I remember from the Daybreak discord server almost a year ago was that the hitbox were actually squares in front of the killer, and apparently they thought of making the weapon have hitbox instead but decided against it because some killers (Idol and Unforgotten) raise their weapons so it wouldn't work super well. Edit: Auto correct keeps changing hitbox to hotbox lol.

[@obliqued]

Oh ok, then it means I was wrong on that part (1:29). Thanks for the clarification!

[@endergirldragon]

The pjm music caught me off guard lol Maybe if I take this into account my loops wont end so early, man having constant 200ms sucks

[@ad_of.moonbreak]

Emms sent your video in the previews channel of Daybreak 2's discord server. Looks like you did quite well in explaining hitboxes in Daybreak!

[@obliqued]

I haven't joined the Daybreak discord yet, but now I'm more worried since it's practically just me guessing how the game works internally...

[@26_des]

3:27 its also worth noting high ping killers tend to go for lunges that look weird on your end, almost like theyre lunge spamming or they cant time it properly- whenever i see someone lunge from like 10ft away i start to get worried that they have high ping also guys. the best way to prevent bad ping hits is to KNOW your server region where you get the best ping. which is a given but i see people like "im on 300 ping lol" as they lock in killer so. just go to servers with good ping PLEASE youre not just doing yourself a favor but also everyone else.

[@obliqued]

Yeah, that's a better method to determining the killer's ping. Though tbh, getting good ping servers can be a bit iffy sometimes (well, in Australia at least), and sometimes I just give up trying to server jump already after getting a 200 ping server once.

[@thedudeatthesea5727]

I understand the hitboxes just a little better now, thanks! Also the people at db discord shared your vid!

[@Snowflakenova]

Very nice explanation, I didn't know most of this so it's def useful

[@liqznaa]

i know how they work and allat but i still watch this video anyways cuz why not

[@catenjoyer76]

I usually get hit from 100 meters away cause of my high ping. Living in South America is tough sometimes, I wish they added servers for us.

[@BrokenEclipse]

4:35 In Wastewater killers can hit through the windows and fences. The same goes for Camp Clearwater 😔 watch out for those yall.

[@tijothomas71]

STOP THATS WHY I DIED AS EMIL BUT I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO THE VAULT AND THEY GOT ME SOMEHOW?

[@Minjeong4life]

I didn’t really understand but I get it a little, overall your video is amazing !!!

[@amnesiaa0]

cool vid :D

[@jjais964]

i thought they worked like IDV and DBD hitboxes

[@obliqued]

Hitboxes are probably similar, the main difference is that Daybreak continuously checks during the lunge while IDV and DBD checks after the lunge animation (swing).

[@cairabeatriz1631]

And the hitbox is bigger and because of reach

[@Sờ_ki-bi.đi]

Nah these arent as bad as mm2 laggy hitboxes

[@SuperMario152]

I knew that.

[@godiloveyttd]

? okay

[@seufimeaqui9034]

omg
