Boneworks - How to climb and get up

How to pull yourself together in Boneworks

Pulling yourself up in Boneworks can be done in two different ways, the physical way and the simpler way. Suppose you grabbed a ledge and want to pull yourself up on it. To do this physically, you will need to crouch down and lower your hands to the floor while holding the ledge, then take a few steps forward. What you're essentially doing here is imitating standing up over a ledge. However, the way the game records your location and elevation can get a bit tricky, so we recommend that you do it more easily.

The easy method of climbing does the same thing, but is much more reliable. If you've spent any time with Boneworks, you've probably noticed that the game has a virtual crouch feature, which is activated by moving the right controller (or trackpad on Vive) down. It will help you to climb easily. Simply hang onto a ledge, lower your arms to mimic standing up, then use the virtual crouch to place your character's legs on the ledge. Then you can just use the left stick to move up the ledge.

Physically settling on a ledge is intuitive once you get the hang of it, but for those of you with smaller play spaces, you're probably better off using the virtual crouch to move around the ledges. Whichever way you prefer to do it, climbing in Boneworks can always be quite hit and miss due to the way the game simulates your character's body. If you can master it, however, it can grant you access to new areas that might hide useful gear. If you are still having issues, you can still practice in the game's Sandbox mode.
