Climbing trees and rock faces.

[E.J. 16]

Hello.

 

Has anyone ever asked about the potential for climbing trees?

 

My take on it would be that you need to have gloves, and any kind of boot except wellies for a bare minimum. Using weapons in this default minimum would be limited to single hand firearms, and be extremely unstable as far as weapon sway.

 

Next stage would be introducing climbing gear like harnesses used in the lumber industry allowing you to lean back and free up your arms, and harnesses for scaling rock surfaces. Spiked heel and toe boots would be common iems amongst both types of climbing.

 

IE - you would simply need to have the boots equipped and the tree (harness) or rock climbing equipment (harness, rope, ice pick, etc) in you inventory for the context menu to appear.

 

With trees, but not surface scaling, having the proper equipment would allow you to use both single and dual handed weapons with normal sway stability. This benefit would be offset by basically being a stationary object outside of rotational ability.

 

Add in some sort of distance based grappling hook (gun shot, or hand tossed), and maybe even walls could be scaled as well. Snipers on the normally inaccesible roofs could give a whole new dynamic.

i can see and hear the broken limbs now

and as for folks getting inaccessible areas to camp i think is bullshit if they add this buildings need to be able to be destroyed and grenades need to be implemented and work like a top, as well as this grapple you speak of needs to be rare or abundant. its bad enough in berezino at the apts when you get some scum bag at the top trying to find a view of the son of a bitch from the ground is impossible almost unless you wanna get into a spot thats just suicide this would be more of the same but worse folks would get pissed off and frustrated especially if they couldn't find this magic hook tool. so building destruction with explosives or the idea i think atleast the building part is no go for me but the tree and rock climbing i can dig.

Grappling hooks and scaling walls like that are a no no.

 

I could see people climbing certain trees, but this is overall an unnecessary and iffy idea.

In a "survival situation", you don't climb trees. You just don't. The potential for falling and hurting yourself is just too high, for too little gain.
