Mount Charge Might Be Able To Break Through Barricades in Upcoming Patch 1.1.1

The World of Sanctuary is a vast world with five different regions to explore. As players progress through the Acts of the story and explore the world more frequently, they will get to encounter themselves in several dungeons, world events, strongholds, and much more. The fast-traveling system helps players get to other regions quickly, but it is also useful to use the mounts to reach nearby points of interest more quickly instead of running.

Using mounts to travel in the region saves a lot of time, which is helpful in partaking in time-limited world events or world boss fights. However, one of the major obstacles for mounts is the barricades. Since the release of Diablo IV, players have been recommending that Devs allow the mounts to charge through the barricades without even stopping. As there is no jump option on the mount or the character itself, the dash ability of the mount can easily break through the barricades, but instead, the mount gets stopped.

It is a very small thing to ask, and the Devs have finally acknowledged the recommendation. After the Campfire Chat on July 25, 2023, Joe Shely tweeted, saying that they are going to add the mount’s charge to break through the barricades. Adam Fletcher, leader of the development team, retweeted it as well.

This change might be coming in the upcoming patch 1.1.1, which is set to be released on August 8, 2023.
