Hitbox

Hitbox is the representation of body parts in video games. In the Battlefield series, hitboxes determine the amount of damage multipler a player takes when hit, depending on which hitbox is hit.

Infantry Hitbox
In general, infantry receive more damage to the torso, neck, and head. In many games, a headshot from a sniper rifle is a one-hit kill.

Vehicle Hitbox
Vehicles also have weak points where AV weaponry may deal additional damage. Certain vehicles that are normally resistant to small arms fire may have weak points where such weapons can inflict damage.
