Cairn Demo Update 1.0.94_945 Adds Control Remapping and Climbot Upgrades

The latest Cairn demo update introduces finger healing, Climbot trash recycling, control remapping, and new rappel mechanics. It also overhauls the save system and improves rope physics.

Version 1.0.94_945 of the Cairn demo is live, bringing quality-of-life adjustments, bug fixes, and new features to the survival climbing experience.

Survival Tools and Climbot Updates

Players can heal injured fingers in the bivouac using climbing tape. Additionally, the Climbot companion can process trash and items to produce useful chalk, while pathfinding improvements help the robot navigate terrain more reliably.

Movement and Control Additions

Full control remapping is available to match individual player preferences. Movement options expand with jump rappel and slide rappel mechanics, alongside adjustments to rope swinging and the removal of erroneous rope connections between Aava and the Climbot when no piton is planted.

Interface and Save System Adjustments

Saving progress is easier with a new load menu and the ability to load saves directly from the pause menu. Players can also browse collected letters and papers within the backpack, adjust new gameplay settings such as save reminders and hold feedback, and experience updated DualSense haptics, trigger effects, and audio barks.
