Good morning. A couple of days ago in a thread I described Nick's description of the new obsidian weapons as being "functionally different" as somewhat of an untruth.

However, after close inspection of all three weapons in game compared to their vanilla counterparts, I have to admit I was wrong. not only are the stats and statuses dealt different, but hitboxes have changed as well, particularly in the case of the carbine.

I apologize for the previous statement. I should have looked more closely at the items before claiming they were a reflavored reskin.

+1 to this guy

Though I still think what we have are not really "new" weapons, I must applaud you for your humbleness and character to apologize to the devs for something you said that you felt was wrong. There needs to be more people like you in the world

I respect your apology to this situation and I like your humbleness. (SK needs more of these players to make a good community. :P)

I don't know if I need to apologise if I said nothing to the devs...

But in all seriousness though... I feel like this whole thing is blown out of proportion

Don't get me wrong- I don't blame or think either side is wrong, it's just uncalled for

The altered hitbox on the gun feels like a bug more than anything else.

But anyways, even if they function similarly to existing weapons, I absolute adore them. The charge attack animations are just amazingly cool, and the sword's swing just sounds so heavy and satisfying.

Can you elaborate on the hitbox differences with the Carbine?

@Momo

Bullets seem to explode slightly off where you aim. It isn't huge, but it matters from time to time.

@Momofuku

It seems (to me at least) that it doesn't do the crazy hit-box things that other antiguas do, like shooting at a block and it not registering, or the hit activating to the block right next to the one you shot.
The Carbine seems much more reliable, more like a Valiance shot. Makes it a lot better for speedrunnning (which is what I use the antiguas for the most in PvE).

It actually has the same hitbox problems as the sentenza, so it is actually very similar. Running right up to a ghost block and shooting will sometimes not hit, hitting switches sometimes doesnt work.

Perhaps placebo effect of a new weapon is occuring.
