    I'm on the xbox one but i have a few friends on ps4 and there are no problems with the placement of grapple hook as far as i'm aware. Have you tried using the edit options on the item you are using? Because you can change item coordinates also distance.....

    I don't really understand how they're supposed to work, but I've ended up always using the hanging version (not the ledge or wall) because it works and looks better. The only "problem" is that you have to place it on a surface with ground below, a tree or a pole usually works best.

    Hey Guys

    When using the Climables - Ledges you need to have them turned the correct way or they won't work at all.

    The ledges simply allow you to climb upwards but you can also jump over a gap and they will work for you so lonmg as you have them at the correct height (Too high or low and the button prompt wion't show)
    So it's just a matter of playtesting at different heights to perfect as required.

    With the grappling hook again you have to have the item turned the correct way, you can angle them also but you must try them out to make sure they work.
    You will always get a prompt to throw the grappling hook and once attached as you move sidewards or climb higher or drop lower if there is another grapple point you will get the option to attach to this.

    I threw a quick video together to try and show how they work (it's very simple so don't expect very much)

    Also I added the Geysers - these throw you up into the air, there are 4 of them which launch you to different heights.

    30M - 50M - 80M - 100M
    You have to be either using the wingsuit or parachute when you fly through these for them to work (Thanks to Mauro Robert for explaining that to me)

    I wanted to see if you could attach to a wall / grapple point from the parachute while in the air but on my first attempt in the video it does not appear that we can do that.
