How climbing and gear work
Step
When you join, you start at the bottom of the tower and climb your way up through obstacle sections. New gear unlocks as you progress, and on top of that, you earn a new piece of gear every five minutes just by playing. You do not need to do anything special to trigger either of these — climbing and time do the work for you.
- Start climbing move upward through each obstacle section from the moment you spawn.
- Keep going every five minutes a new gear unlocks automatically, so staying in the game pays off.

Trolling and surviving trolls

- Use your gear on other players to cause mayhem or help yourself survive the climb.
- Expect the same treatment back — multiple players can target you at once.
