Cell Towers is a gameplay mechanic in BATTLEGROUNDS.
Summary
Cell Towers feature a vertical zip-line, once hooked on the player can zip-line to the top and automatically jump off to the glide/parachute to a nearby area. Cell Towers are located in various locations on the map Deston giving the player to flank or move away from enemies.
Update history
Update #64 (Season 18 - Update 18.2)
- Introduced with the release of map Deston.
- Cell Towers are very tall and thin Ascender-focused buildings
- These towers allow you to ride an Ascender from the ground level up to a very high position in one, long ascent.
- Ascending and descending on a Cell Tower provides a faster traveling speed compared to regular Ascenders.
- When you press the Interaction key at the top of the tower, you will be flung into the air in the direction you’re facing.
- Shortly after being flung into the air, your Utility Parachute will automatically deploy, allowing you to safely glide a long distance.
- Ascending a Cell Tower and traveling with your Utility Parachute will help you reach your destination faster than traveling on foot!
