Grappling hooks not working on aberration?

[Rich]

Topic. Although fun, climbing picks are utterly and completely useless, making grappling hooks almost a must-have. Is it intended that they dont work or yet another ark bug?

[Sam]

So far I've not seen another post about the hooks not working on any map let alone on Aberration.
I know personally that they're working on a modded map, so I have to assume they are working on my other maps, modded and standard.

I've certainly heard that grappling hooks arent' intended to work on Ab, and were intentioanlly shut down. Climbing picks having issues? Always worked fine for me.

I can live with them being very slow compared to crossbow, but the durability on climbing picks are a joke. They last a total of .1 seconds, you can't climb anything unless you got 999 of them with you, which you cant carry anyway.

There are mods available that remove durability on items like picks.

Oh, yes. I've established a method of categorizing cliffs by number of picks required. Not tested whether they ahve blue prints and quality levels etc.

Can grappling hook be used on Aberration - No
Is this a bug - No
Can you get better climbing pick BP's - Yes
Where - The surface. Best to go at 10 - 90 time.

even low lvl climbing pikes can be very usefull in aberration. it was designed for. but it was also designed to combo with the glider wings.

you can grab walls when flying to them. not spending pikes stamina, while regenerating yours. then fly away again to another wall.

higher lvl stuff allows more combinations. like climbing between jumps. etc....

this is a veteran survivor map. of course you're here to learn new gameplay mechanics.

I mean, can I even get to surface without a massive amount of climbing picks?


speaking of BPs - we've yet to find a single useful one on Aberration. It's all just garbage, like fish basket bp or thatch wall etc. Why is it that every loot crate contains nothing but rubbish?

[ShaZZa]

1 standard climbing pick will get you to the main surface area easy enough so you can try for better bp's.
The "standard" loot crates you find around the map are just junk an not even worth getting. The surface is the only viable place to get anything decent... maybe in the 3 artifact caves (I haven't done those in a while so unsure of loot).
