Ladder?

[eves_faith]

I don't really understand how the ladders work, that you have to release. I climb up with a spion, I press F but nothing happens? Is that a bug or am I missing something?

[jorel91023]

I figured this out. The ladders that are locked on some maps can be released by hitting "F" - but only if you have a Bruiser (ex: Ingrid) in your party with you on that mission and the Bruiser has to be the selected character to do it. The netting type ones can only be climbed if you have a Sneak (ex: Lateef) by using them.

SOME of the ladders are bugged, and we've been fixing them 1 by 1. So it's possible that you came across one of the ladders we haven't fixed yet.

Not sure what Jorel91023 is referring to though... sometimes there are ladders that need to be released, and there'll be a "Clamber" spot (the netting) that a Sneak can climb and then release the ladder for everyone else. -- Bruisers knocking down walls or Saboteurs picking locks will open passage for everyone on the team to get through. Not much point in putting a releasable ladder on the other side of a broken-wall or picked-door since everyone will already be through by then.

There is a map with a locked ladder (The City) that is locked on the diagonal at the end of a platform. I was only able to release it using Fedir (Bruiser) once I figured that out. Unlocking it allows for a shortcut across the map. Not the usual netting that is clamored up or down, but a ladder.

Weird.

I'll see if I can get a screen shot of that one and post a link. It even says "locked" when you click on it. I could never unlock it to climb down to the lower city except using Fedir the one time.

except when you get a hard crash every time trying to kick the ladder down. egypt map (upper town etc) in the mission to steal ressources and optional magister reports.
problem is you have to use the ladder or go a long way around.
haven't tested since latest fixes, will do.

That's the ladder I couldn't think of.

I was able to unlock it with Fedir but only that one time.

Here is a link to that one:

I was able to click on it but it didn't swing down.

[jorel91023]

Update: I was on this map again during a mission and had Fedir do it. It seems to only unlock with him as it swung down again when he did it.

This still doesn't seem fixed on all maps. I have the mission "Operation Scorpion Sting", where I am tasked to collect 4 Supply Crates in a forested area. In the final area of the map, there's a ladder that you're supposed to be able to lower, but there is no interaction possible. I had Ingrid, Lateef and Eddie with me on that mission, and only Lateef is able to clamber up there to open the shortcut. Eddie and Ingrid are able to reach it when going the other way around, but at that point it's kinda useless to open the shortcut anymore.

Nothing big, as I like to do full clears anyway and this was just a shortcut to an area I could reach another way, but figured I'd report it anyway.

Name of mission and the primary objective isn't informative, as missions seem to be procedurally generated. Screenshot of the map area would be informative though. I've never had a problem with any such ladder, but there is a ladder on a watchtower that doesn't let my agents use it, despite the white dot.

Was it ladders going up to a wooden walkway above a wall? And the escape zone was locked, needing a brass key, with a locked loot 'room' next to it?

I never had trouble with the ladder until I reloaded the game after finishing the mission and seeing that I did in fact leave without finding a Mote of Fate. When I replayed the ladder was not lowered, and coming from inside the compound, the Saboteur (Alexandrite) couldn't interact with it. So I reloaded and went of the compound the other way with the Sneak (Célestine) and then the ladder was suddenly down when she got back from the outside. Like it was supposed to, since I had already interacted with it in the saved game.

I also came across a ladder that didn't go down when interacted with, and the interaction dot disappeared. But that was in a desert map, with a large area accessible to a clambering Sneak, or a wall-kicking Bruiser when coming from the bazaar. Which was behind an energy barrier.

Some things can only be climbed with certain characters, the stealth ones.

That's clamber nets and vines, not ladders.
