Ascenders

Ascenders

Ascenders is a gameplay mechanic in BATTLEGROUNDS.

Summary

Ascenders are connected by a vertical zip-line on the side of a building. Ascenders aren't located on all buildings so be on the look out for them. Ascenders give the player the ability to get on top of special areas, quicky ascend or descend great distances.

Update history

Update #64 (Season 18 - Update 18.2)

• Introduced with the release of map Deston.

• Ascenders are spread throughout the map as ropes attached to objects that allow vertical traversal.
  • Both ends of the Ascender are accessible any time.
• With an Ascender, you can swiftly descend from the highest rooftop with no risk of fall damage.
• You can not use an Ascender when another player is currently using the same one.
• You are unable to loot items from the ground when you’re on an Ascender.
• Once mounted on an Ascender:
  • You can move up and down the rope using movement keys.
    • Using the Sprint key while

moving down (only) will increase the speed of descent.

• • You can dismount from the Ascender at any point.
    • If you dismount at the top of the rope, you will teleport to the spot on the building near the top.

Otherwise, you will let go and fall. You can still be shot and killed on an Ascender.

• • • You will detach from the Ascender and fall to the ground.
• Ropes can be found inside and outside structures.
  • Ropes are static objects that don’t have movement.
  • Ropes can be found on varying heights based on the structure.
