Upon embedding itself in a solid surface, the winch activates, strong enough to pull a fully grown person to the spike’s location. Some raiders and hunters use grappling guns to secure prey.Special: When the grappling gun hits a target, they must make a STR + Athletics (if they are a character) or Body + Other test (if they are a creature) with a difficulty of 2. If their test fails, the attacker can use a minor action to pull the target prone and move them one zone closer to them. A harpooned target can free themselves of the grapple with a minor action. Additionally, grappling guns can be used to pull their wielder up heights up to two zones away, at a rate of one zone per turn."
==Characteristics==
The grappling gun fires a spiked "grapple round." If it becomes successfully embedded in a surface, a small industrial wench in the gun will be able to pull the weight of an adult person to the position.
Some hunters use the grappling gun to secure prey animals. Similarly, raiders or bandits may use it to secure victims.
