Messing around and noticed with Zarya and her beam isn’t lining up with her reticlehttps://twitter.com/stevex000/status/1135731831796576256?s=21

That’s been a thing for ages. Thought they fixed it at some point tho. I don’t use Zarya’s reticle when i play her in general

It’s because the beam comes out of her gun, but the camera comes out of her head. AFAIK no real way to fix it, unless she learns to shoot lasers from her eyes.
I suppose her gun could change angles depending on how close the target is.
I’m also not sure if this impacts the beam hitbox or is a purely visual thing. On D.Va, for example, the missiles visually come out from the side of her mech, but the hitbox comes directly out of the camera.
yes

Is it the same for symmetra?
I think it’s a view model issue. Physical objects really aren’t supposed to block the first person beam like that.
But isn’t her beam supposed to hit dead on center of the reticle even if it’s coming from the side?
