2nd Antenna Tower unclimbable?

[Darth Derpy]

Just after the first (or only) usable ladder, youjump onto the flat cables, then climb up four yellow/black bars, and finally climb onto a catwalk with a locked ladder.

I've tried climbing on the green drums, but can't find any other way out or up. I've jumped at literally every bar and nothing happened.

Is there any way up the tower or do you have to do side quests before something unlocks?

If you're talking about the one with the old guy and his son on it, yes you can definitely climb it.
you just gotta take a good look at the ways up, that one is pretty tricky though and you don't have to go all the way to the top.

I'm just trying to activate it and as I said, I jumped at literally everything. I don't see any way up.

you have to climb one time the big flat cables, after that you jump one time up and there you are. the big flat cables are ending in the box with the leaver

You can't climb the cables. I've tried. I tried jumping from the cable ledge you can climb up the yellow/black bars, and I've tried jumping from the catwalk above said ledge. You can't grab them.

I am good with puzzles.

What I'm not good at are things that are impossible. This game is basically Far Cry, and I never had trouble with any of those towers save one. And even then, it took me just a moment to figure out the one problem.

This thing has literally nothing to latch on to. A video would be nice.

just follow the big flat cables and look where you can hang on or climb up. you can hang on the flat cables and if you are near the end, you can jump to it and climb up to the end.

belive in your skills. the climbing/jumping/parkour elements are awesome

Yeah I just saw a video and can't believe I didn't latch onto it even once on the four times I tried it. I did the same exact thing as in the video but no grab or climb or anything. I just fell onto the ledge part below and lost life.

One of the worst games I've invested in ever.

The key to fast and safe parkour or climbing in this game is to hold the jump button while jumping until you hit/land on the ground.

you can fall of a tower and splash on the ground but if there is an edge or a roof where you can climb up, the character will pick it and is safe.

I know, and I practically have my spacebar pressed all the time. But my character simply didn't latch onto the cables.

a friend of mine has sometimes the same problems too. he just can't pick an edge or something. after 20 times of trying he gets it and it is always the same "yeah, I jumped to early" or "mehh, I didn't look at the edge".

the game mechanics are realy simple. just get used to it and you will have a lot of fun.

Everyone seems to be under the impression that I am incompetent and/or a noob. I'm not.

I gave those cables four good tries, and not once did it latch on and begin to climb. I tried tapping the space bar, holding the space bar (both from the jump and quickly after releasing from the jump), and then both from the ledge below it and the catwalk above where you should do it.

This isn't a "i jumped 2 erlee" or "i didnt c et" bullcrap. This is a "this game is flawed" problem.

You have to jump from the cliff outside the base to the tower.

[Nagamahu]

I don't think you are a noob or something else. But sometimes people just don't do, what they get told to do.

"look at the window and hold space in the air" - it is that simple - so why had my friend to look at the zombie below? ... did't catch the edge, fall down and died.

Maybe the game has a coded "fun factor" where every 20th grab will fail, just to let something interesting happen.
