Guild Wars 2

So, I know that it’s kind of stupid to give away my awesome idea, but I also at the same time need to know the answer, and was curious if anyone knew the answer. Just to be clear, the area we are discussing is located in any one of the 3 main borderlands (not Eternal Battlegrounds).

The question is: can you destroy the bridge with a catapult from the outside of (Color)Lake, then slip through a crack in the wall as a result of the destruction, as a means of capturing (Color)Lake as stealthy and quickly as possible?

Another side question is: does the bridge scale in damage reduction via the wall upgrades, or no?

I hope to receive as accurate of an answer as possible! Thanks!

Destroying the bridge only stops the enemy from reaching their mortar, so it’s essentially a pointless exercise.

It does.

I was defending Lake when someone tried this and I believe that all it accomplishes is the destruction of the bridge and it does not create an entrance to the tower.

Thanks for your input, but I’d like something more than just “I believe,” as anything could’ve caused the dissuation of the attempt to get into the tower after the bridge was down.

Are you talking about the jut/bridge of stone that’s attached to lake tower?

If so, then no. It only destroys the bridge part and leaves the tower intact, making that treb spot inaccessible for those who own lake tower. Same thing with Briar btw.

Then go try it yourself.

This is fact. Killing the bridge doesn’t grant access to the tower.

Thanks guys n gals, for all of your answers!
