Arrowhead gives Helldivers 2 players hope for fiddly auto-climb feature and says it's "possibly tweaking" how it works "in the near future"

Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios says it's "possibly tweaking" the auto-climb mechanic that some players have been complaining about since launch.

Auto-climb, or auto-vault, is a mechanic that's seen its fair share of controversy since Helldivers 2 launched in February. The root of the issue seems to be the non-optional part - if you approach a climbable object, your Helldiver will automatically climb it, which for obvious reasons can impact all sorts of things, from the aiming of your shot to your positioning against enemy attacks. While some folks will naturally adapt, others have wanted an option to turn auto-climb off in the game's customization settings, and it sounds like Arrowhead just might be granting their wish.
