How to get unstuck from scenery?

[Citizen10Bears]

I've been stuck 3 times now and don't know how to unstick myself. It's so frustrating.
1) In the back of a lorry, I climbed over a box and couldn't get out again
2) I stood in an old bath in a barn and could't get out again
3) I crouched and walked under a plane in a bunker for cover, and couldn't move

If only there was an emergency "I'm stuck" button to help free yourself. Getting stuck happens in lots of games, I know, but I'm sure there could be a way to get the game to replace you close to your stuck position if you really needed it - especially in a game with no save facility.

Yea I got stuck in a couple spots and it was so frustrating.

Some places where you do get stuck you can try and get unstuck sometimes it works, and sometimes you can't get out. It happened to me too in the back of a lorry over a box I had jump all of the place.

If you do get stuck however, you can just fast travel to a safe house it is annoying to travel back to the place or whatever...

When getting stuck and can't wiggle yourself out (frantically jumping, moving your view left-right, smashing crouch button, trying to sprint), there is another way to free yourself other than fast travel to nearest safehouse. Though, there's a catch: you'll loose bulk of your health.

Idea is to place an explosive at your feet and dedontate it (drop a granade, place fuel cell/gas can/land mine and shoot it or aim and shoot m/49 at your feet). Following explosion is usually enough for you to ragdoll out of any glitched map section where you got stuck.

I've used the above trick sometimes. Though, i've learned which places can get me stuck and i know to avoid those.

Sometimes mashing around with run / jump and toggling crouch works. Blowing yourself up with canisters can help because you get a force while ragdolled. Fast travelling to safe house would work, though unless you have a radio handy you'll obviously be far away.

I sometimes get stuck on the corners upstairs in houses, e.g. the starting house. Clip the corner heading to the stairs, and I'm glued! I've taken shelter under a plane and got stuck too, it's frustrating. Let's hope the physics models or collision hulls get a little love.

Edit: I wish steam would show replies to topics in a more consistent fashion. Couldn't see any of the above when I wrote this.

For some reason, Steam also didn't show any replies in all topics i looked yesterday.

It was either i opened topic with 0 replies but once refreshed the page, replies appeared
OR
I opened topic and replies were there, but as soon as i refreshed the topic, all replies dissapeared and stayed so, until i closed the topic window and reopened it.

I guess it was a Steam bug since now it seems to be fixed.

It's hit and miss for me still. Now I mash shift+F5 until something comes up.

Its a bit late answer when i see it is from 2019. I also struggle with getting stuck in the game. I think to try allways have one field radio on me. When i get stuck, i can place the field radio in front of me, and then see i can fast travel to it to get unstuck, so i dont need to travel to a safe house. I dont know it can works

It is pretty simple. As long as you are not in combat you can just fast travel to the nearest ( or any ) safe house. Costs nothing except the time spent running back. Keep in mind you cannot fast travel if you are over-weight.
