I can't be the only one who hates this mountain, and everything it stands for...

I used to love it back when we had extremely powerful jet packs that can climb that mountain on a single go. Now, it just sucks balls. :/

When I was a Recon player, I hated this mountain with all of my being. When I was a Tigerclaw player, I laughed at this mountain. As a recluse player, I hope this mountain collapses

It's a way to sell re-usable battleframe stations.

as a mammoth player, everytime i had to climb that fucker i wanted to die

There's an easy path up, once you know where to look for it. You can climb 3/4 of the way on a bike.
7
That's such a convoluted way of climbing though. Instead of having stepped platforms that could take up a fifth of that space.

It's actually not that bad. The path is a strong incline and given the height of the mountain it's much faster than a bunch of jumpjet platforms.

Personally, the ones I hate more are the mountains just East and Northeast of Tecumseh Airbase. It's never easy to get on top of them without using a charge or two of Afterburner and objectives always seem to spawn up there.

Yes. Fuck those mountains and all the quests that make you go up there OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Who the hell makes brand new recruits scale a damn mountain so they can watch a mercenary beat up wild animals? Can't you do that shit in the courtyard of the airbase?

Goddamit R5 needs to put obstacles or else the map will be a single huge room instead of a collection of different areas.!
THERE IS A WAY. There you just have to follow the paths. They are highlighted for a reason. The path north of Lab 16 is NOT highlighted and that's a problem but you just have to walk north to climb that mountain range.

The paths are highlighted? Or do you mean the mission direction markers which often spaz out and disappear at the foot of said mountain when the objective is on top of it?
3
I mean the path in the map and minimap, the direction markers are, as you mentioned, less reliable.
1
Going up there once in a while isn't so bad, but it's all the damn time, sometimes two and three times for a single quest.

Do you even afterburner+that firetrail afterburner thingy for Firecat bro?

firetrail afterburner thingy is an interesting new name for Inferno Dash....we'll see how Red5 fits that in the hotbar.

I prefer to call it Firesurfing, but that's just me.

There is a wrose mountain in sartao... the one you linked at least has an easy climb.
2
I figured it was either that one, or the one immediately north of Dredge that you have to go around again and again...
2
Yeah, I hate the dredge mountain more than OP's. You can just skip that ares, you can't skip not to go around dredge.
1
they could at least put in a chain of jump pads...
1
I have said it before but the problem is that there are no interesting enemies along the path, otherwise I think the idea of a path circling a mountain is pretty cool. In fact I wish it was taller on the westward side so you are forced to follow the trail to the platforms. They should put brineworms in this zone to make it more interesting.
2
You're gonna loathe Devil's Tusk. Lord knows I do. Bugs the shit out of me that they made an area where the LGV is useless 50% of the time.

I've found that the easiest way to get on top of it is to either walk to, or even better, glide from top of the wall of the sunken harbor to Watchtower directly south of that mountain.
From that place, you can use its glider pad to easily get to a small plateau below the bridge that runs on top of the mountain. From there, you can easily use the jetpack to get up.
This route made my life around Sunken Harbor hell of a lot easier.
2
You can glide from the ARES mission to the south of Sunken (two levels, tends to be aranha or bandit leader) over to the top of that mountain. At least that's how I used to chain into the ARES at the top.

Try the THREE surrounding Tecumseh Airbase in Sertao.
Oh yes, and all three have "level" plateaus that serve as spawn points for any job board mission there. One is literally impossible to climb without going completely around to Sagan or using a glider pad.

I hate all mountains in this game.
1
I was literally thinking the same thing a few minutes ago.. If you aren't an Assault with boosts, you're going to have a bad time.
1
i haven't played ff in over a year... it was pretty fun when you got to the top... you could fly forever.
1
Youre missing the easiest way up the mountain. Wait for a dropship from sunken harbour(those missions are the only reason youre climbing it anyway) and just ditch the ship in the pass and easily glide your way up the mountian.
1
You sir, are probably one of the only ones.
