Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Discover Working Trebuchets, Secret Areas | Push Square

Dragon's Dogma 2 continues to be the gift that keeps giving, with players reporting overnight the discovery of how to use the many catapults trebuchets (and ballista) left scattered around Capcom's reactive game world (though some are clearly destroyed). Even more exciting, the power and torque of these beautiful machines of siege warfare, reputedly able to launch 90kg projectiles over 300 meters in reality, can be used to smash open previously undiscovered secret areas in the game.

IGN spotted a clip from Twitter user Peppo_LS that purports to show off this secret, which, as you might imagine, has kicked off a scouring of the entire game.
