From now on, your barbarians can climb along all surfaces in Conan Exiles at will. A new exploration feature has also been released, rewarding you for exploring the wasteland.
Until now, vertical surfaces were an insurmountable obstacle even for the strongest barbarian in Conan Exiles. Anyone with a refuge on a cliff was practically safe from looters. But those days are over, as climbing naked barbarians will be causing trouble in the wasteland from the next update.
Conan Exiles – Update 28 – You can climb anywhere
Update 28 brings the new climbing feature to the barbarian sandbox. You can now climb along any surface, including vertical walls and even underneath overhangs. But be careful that no one attacks you, or you will lose your grip and fall down. And be sure to increase your stamina, as it will deplete steadily while climbing.
If your stamina runs out, it’s also down you go, and if you climb too high, you might fall so deeply that you die miserably. Also useful: Wear as little and as light clothing as possible. Heavy armor will drain your stamina even faster, but a naked climber should be able to reach almost anywhere.
Conan Exiles – Exploration Mode and Bug Fixes
Because of the climbing, there should be many lightly armored or completely naked individuals roaming around in Conan Exiles, especially since it is now even more worthwhile to explore the map. Besides valuable resources and slaves, there are now landmarks that you can explore to gain even more experience points. You can also place your own landmarks, for example, to mark special locations for yourself.
In addition to these new features, Update 28 also includes an upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.15 (which could lead to issues with some mods) and some gameplay and bug fixes. For example, the possibility to build underwater, a 20 percent reduction of XP needed for leveling up, and armor no longer reduces fall damage.
