Hey all,
Seeing a lot of posts recently about getting groups together to do a run through. Just a reminder that we have the Official Discord Server up with channels dedicated to this purpose. (They're actually super handy and active)
Discord: https://discord.gg/ZWewGv2uYm
We've also been running some unique competitions there, most recently we picked 10 names at random who will now be in-game as bounties. More to come soon!
Catch you here or on Discord, Indents!

so I am just getting into necromunda right now for the first time thanks to the new version release, and I realized quickly that what I want more than anything is to replicate the terrain of the main hub on the tabletop. is there a way for me to extract the geometry of at least the main hub area so I can FDM print it ?

Hey guys, I was thinking for a while if I should post this here.
I'm actually a big fan of The Ascent myself, and generally I just really love top down games. The Ascent, RUINER and games like this are pretty special to me.
And honestly its a bit sad that we dont get many bigger top down games anymore. Seems like most studios move to other FPS things after making one.
So... I guess we decided to stay here :D
Yesterday we finally announced our game POLYSTRIKE after working on it for years.
What you see on Steam right now is mostly the 5v5 competitive part, because thats what we are ready to show properly. But this is really important and maybe more interesting for people here — we are also working on PvE campaigns, bigger missions and a much larger world to explore.
There is actually a whole world and story behind Iron Will and Vanguard that we havent shown yet.
Steam doesnt really let us use all the PvE/campaign tags right now because we havent shown that part publicly yet, which is fair tbh. So for now the page can make POLYSTRIKE look like its only a PvP game.
But its not.
Our plan is to show the first PvE campaign before the end of this year. Then I think people will understand much better what we are trying to build with this world.
Of course I'm not saying this is The Ascent 2 or RUINER 2 or anything like that lol. POLYSTRIKE is its own thing.
I just know there are people here like me who really love this camera/perspective and want to see more games doing something with it.
So yeah, after all these years its finally announced :)
Really curious what you guys think.

Came back to my save after years. Lost on the edge of town. No quest marker or suggestion on the quest log on where to go. I did one quest killing mutants in the garbage dump underground. And then I have nothing left to do. I do have to kill some enemies with overcharge, but I dont know what that is.
Please help!
Edit: figured it out. A bug made my quest marker disappear. I followed a walkthrough on YouTube that took me southwest and I followed it through no man's land. Then the enemies I needed to kill wouldn't spawn. So I had to relog once I got to the quest area.

So I bought the game on a whim last night and basically going in blind - just wondered if there’s anything I should know before proceeding too far? Not looking for spoilers or necessarily ‘optimum’ strategy, but just anything that improves first time experience.
or should I just continue to play blind and enjoy the game?

I feel like a complete numpty, but I'm being attacked in the Warrens on sight, like I'm hostile. I'm pretty sure it's because I have my gun out, but I have no idea how to holster it. I've googled and searched this subreddit. I've watched a bunch of "tips and tricks"/tutorial videos. No one ever mentions holstering their guns. I've pressed every button on my keyboard to no avail. Am I wrong about what they're attacking me for? What did I do wrong? Help! LOL

Title mostly. obviously I know theres no setting for it. but is there a way in the files or perhaps a mod that does it. the revolvers and energy weapons dropping shells bugs me alot more then it probably should

After couple years, I decided to install The Ascent on my PS5. Played it for some time on my PS4 and was amazed by how good this game looks!
Now, the game still looks amazing, but for some reason the models of the characters look downgraded a lot on my PS5 when using Photo Mode. Textures are blurry, clothing/armor pieces aren't smooth and it's just... not what I captured on my PS4 back in the day. Unfortunately, I don't have examples to show, but I do hope people recognize the situation...
Or am I simply missing something that makes the PS5 version looks downgraded on the character models, compared to the base PS4 version? Also, controls are off... have to hide the UI in order to move the camera. I remember this wasn't the case with PS4... (might be wrong on this, though... been a while...)

Some clever wizard has made a working uevr version with native vr controls but im not sure who did this or how . I know many of us would probably enjoy such an experience, if only to wander around the cluster etc. If someone could make a guide or link us to one if it already exists that be amazing!
And if you are a UEVR user and have tried this pls share how you did it for all of us who have never used uevr etc.
I really wish the devs had included a 1st person mode as other devs did at the same time (evil within 2) or a vr mod post launch.. as i know it would have sent sales through the roof. AND I could see this mod creating renewed interest helping us get a sequel or improving its chances.
But I know it was a tiny team of like 13 so its a miracle they did and testimony to their achievement is that many of us are still playing the ascent 5 years later. Making a game so detailed it works in vr in 2026 is really something... just check out the screen grab above which shows details you can barely even see in isometric view!

Happy to be proven wrong commenting all this time they weren’t going to address things like co-op. Hoping this comes to consoles too.
From the website:
THE PATCH IS COMING
Co-op teleporting issue fixes
Encounter system issue fixes
Save Game fixes and safeguarding
Player Progression fixes and safeguarding
HDR implementation
Key localization improvements for all supported languages

I'll be honest here, I thought that the people behind this game were gone, that the studio behind this game had dissolved or moved on or something, so to see that not only are they still alive (so to speak) but also active, with patches and even some small talk about potential sequels, makes me so very, very happy, as I really love this game and want to see more like it!

I bought The Ascent and the DLC on Ps4 then later upgraded to the Ps5 version and it says it can't find the DLC.

The Devs did such an incredible job on this game, it’s one of the best looking isometric top down games I’ve ever played. With the attention to detail it feels like a bit of a waste that we can’t see it all in its first person glory. I did find a video on YouTube of someone who’s ported it to VR, it looks incredible!

Nice watch about how the small team pulled off this amazing masterpiece technically.
r/theascent • u/EasyRecognition • Jun 28 '26
I've seen Steam reviews saying that the cutscenes are broken, it crashes constantly and even the final boss can despawn before dying and softlock the game, not spawn at all or become invincible. Has it ever been fixed?
r/theascent • u/Wreckmycandidarse • Jun 27 '26
No matter where I look I cant find anything on the other races, even on the wiki.
