The following table highlights the differences between these two common script components: Hitbox Extender Information Advantage Accuracy/Hit Probability Modification Type Visual Overlay (GUI) Physical Part Scaling Affects Crosshair? Vulnerability Hard to detect via automated logic Detectable via size verification Conclusion 3. Comparison of Features )
: Lines connecting the user's crosshair to other players.
: Since these changes occur on the exploiter's client, they are invisible to other players unless the developer implements client-side size checks. 3. Comparison of Features
