    sometimes you have to kick though walls or something. I have gotten lazy and just fly the Buzzer and land on top of the towers.

    the third pic down is where I am stuck - do I run and jump to the ropes? I try and keep falling down to the bottom floor.
    thanks for your help.

    Sprint, then jump from the edge.

    Equip your sidearm weapon (makes you run faster), sprint to the edge of the floor, and don't just tap jump, HOLD jump.

    People that don't hold down the jump key I think are the ones claiming syringes are needed to boost sprint speed on some of the tower jumps. I've never had a problem climbing any of the towers in the game with no skill boosts.

    I ran while equipped with the Buzzsaw... and I didn't hold down the jump button when I jumped. That also doesn't mean I'm claiming syringes are needed to boost sprint speed.

    Some jumps are longer than others. I really don't recall this one, but on gap jumps that are longer, it's best to hold down the jump key/button AND switch to a lighter weapon.

    And I didn't say YOU made that claim. There was a thread though where some were making ridiculous statements like needing to use run boost syringes or even a Buzzer to get up certain towers.

    You like arguing. I just tested your claims. Holding down the jump button makes zero difference. As I sprint, I keep switching weapons from Buzzsaw (LMG) to Desert Eagle to Bull (Shotgun) to Auto Cross and to LK-1018 (rocket launcher), in no particular order. The speed of sprinting stays the same.

    You said "people that don't hold down the jump key", it could mean everyone who did that. You were also not specific to point out the thread.

    If you don't have a Buzzer you can sometimes find the nearest tall rock and use your Wingsuit to land on one of the roofs. There are a couple of towers near the end where the ground level is entirely blocked off and you can't chop through the planks.
