### Summary

When aiming we can still see the player’s head, and it makes it impossible to use any weapons that have scope on it, sniper’s scope is the worst…

### Expected Result

Player’s head still showing up when aiming, so we can’t hide since the player’s head is blocking the view

Can’t aim with scopes

### Platform(s)

PC

### Additional Notes

I’ve already said it all

I have the same issue.

I have Ninja Turtles skins and their head bangs interfere with the scopes of the sniper rifles.

basically what is happening is the character model is completely in the way of our sight. the same thing is happening on all of my creative maps. whenever you ads with a sight or scope the head gets in the way as if you are inside of the characters head. and when you crouch sometimes the arm is in the way. i have tried verifying game files and it didnt work. must be something only a dev can fix. hopefully it gets fixed soon 🙂
