differences in characters?

[Kill Bastard]

i havent played this game for very long, so i just want to ask if there are any difference between the characters gameplay wise or are they just all the same?

When viewed in third person, both Nick and Bill appear to be using the sights on their weapons. Everyone else shoots from the hip. Boom.

If they are controlled by bots, their weapon preferences are different. Nick, Rochelle, Bill, and Zoey like ARs and SMGs. Coach and Louis like shotguns. Ellis and Francis like snipers and SMGs.

And I believe their hitboxes are different. Larger characters like Coach have larger hitboxes whereas smaller characters like Zoey have smaller ones. I'm not sure about this though.

Then Coach is an easy target for infected & friendly fire... But please no 'cause he's my main Character >_<

Too much cotton candy.

If it's true, then unfortunately yes. He's my main character as well XD.

They're all the same if controlled by a player. Rochelle though is argubably the best to use in versus. Spamming her laugh triggers a lot of people easily

This post is literally 1 1/2 years old. How far back did you go to find this?

It doesn't matter, by the looks of it, it's his first post. The anwer is still no.
If it ever was.

The map controls the bots. Or at least, it contains their pathing, which is all the same for every A.I. controlled character, and every character has the same controls.

I guess each survivor had different hitboxes. when I played online with modded short survivor (like some little cat replacement), I never hit that modded survivor above the head. if that survivor had same hitboxes, I would hit 'em with shot above their head. but it's not.

Although this was necro'd, I can confirm every character has the SAME HITBOXES. The only way the hitboxes can be changed are via client-side mods on a local server/singleplayer, or if they're built-in mods from a specific server. In vanilla gameplay all hitboxes are the exact same due to balancing and fairness.

if it was a local server then that's possible, but if not then you just missed them, because in online play (vanilla, official server) your mods are purely visual, they only apply ther scripts if you play in local or in singleplayer. it may also be due to lerp/ping/delay on your end.

Wow this is an old thread.... but yeah, sometimes they do use other weapons than their preferences but as far as I know, they will pick up their preferred weapons when available.
