Intro
The 'Grapple' is an infinitely ranged player-to-point utility item which is capable of bringing the user closer to the things it's fired at -- it is core to performing advanced maneuvers and navigating out in 0g.
Usage
-
LMB and hold to shoot grapple. It resets when you release
-
Hold RMB while grappling to pull you towards the grappling point -- it is more effective in 0g than it is in normal gravity
- The grapple line contracts as you get closer to the pivot, but never expands -- so when swinging around an object, make sure to give yourself enough space for the arc.
The 'Secondary Fire' does nothing without a ball attached to a target surface.
