Does Zarya's primary fire (Particle Beam) have an increase hitbox with high energy?

Question

I'm asking because the visual shows the beam much bigger at a high energy so I'm wondering if the hitbox is bigger was well.

Answer 1

Yes.

From the source:

• 3: When charged up further it will increase the width of Zarya's Particle Cannon's beam (primary fire). Please note that the increased beam actually has a larger hit area and can make hitting targets a tad easier.
