Hyper Scape by Ubisoft is a fast-paced Battle Royale shooter where you blast your way through a futuristic cyberspace world. Your avatars are particularly quick and agile. Therefore, a large tower in the lobby tempts you to climb it. Yet few succeed. It is actually quite simple!
What kind of tower is this? In Ubisoft’s new Battle Royale game Hyper Scape, you blast your way through a virtual metropolis. But before the game starts, you wait in a lobby until all 99 players are ready and all assets of the Beta are loaded. This can indeed take some time, and to avoid getting bored, you can jump around in the lobby and give other players ineffective hits with your clubs.
Or you can practice your jumping and climbing skills on the columns and platforms scattered throughout the lobby. Particularly enticing is a monolithic tower that stands dark and challenging in the middle of the lobby. “Climb me, you won’t make it anyway!” seems to be what the structure says. Nevertheless, countless players try, most of whom tumble back down and bounce off the tower’s wall.
This is how you can easily get to the top of the tower!
This is not how it works: From below, the tower cannot be climbed, but if you ascend the two platforms beside the tower, the top seems within reach. You just need to get somehow to the edge in front of it. However, no matter how you try, you either bounce off the wall or land on a stupid ledge under the edge. From there, you can’t go any further.
Also, it doesn’t help to jump on other players or hit the tower with your club. Yet it seems some player always manages to get on the tower and mock the rest from above. How the hell do they do that?
This is the solution to the problem: Those who think that a highly complex jumping mechanic is involved are mistaken. Because that is exactly where the mistake lies! It is so simple that anyone can do it.
You just have to make a double jump at the edge of the platform next to the tower and at the peak of your jump press the “W” key to move forward. This causes your avatar to cling to the edge and pull itself up onto the tower instead of sliding down the wall.
How can this be? In Hyper Scape, you actually jump higher when you DO NOT move. You have to know that first.
What is the benefit of climbing the tower? Nothing, but you can look down at the other clueless noobs from up there who haven’t figured it out yet and tease them with emotes.
Also good to know before you play Hyper Scape: This Battle Royale game is extremely fast-paced and not for people with slow reflexes or players who prefer a more leisurely pace. It really goes fast here, and even our author Jürgen Horn finds it overall too much, as he is getting too old for this.
