*"Advanced technology for high mobility!"*

The **Grappling Hook**, also knows as the **Grapplr** or the **Grapplr V4,** is an ascend tool. It is a high-level tool but can be purchased earlier in the game if it is prioritized. It launches a hook which latches onto solid terrain and doors and pulls the Respondr in. Its hook also damages objects that it collides with, and if it is not fixed in place, it will push or launch them too. It can be considered an upgrade to the Collapsible Ladder since it allows for very easy climbing and traverse of awkward terrain. The Grappling Hook has a reach of approximately 3⅓ Collapsible Ladders, and can fire every four seconds (recharging begins immediately after firing.)

The Grappling Hook is a very versatile tool and is useful in all loadouts.

## Upgrades

### Hook

**Object Grabbr -** 150

*"Grab objects with expediency"*

**Object Grabbr** removes the Grappling Hook's ability to launch objects, but instead allows its hook to pull them when retracting. It does not remove the ability to damage objects with the hook, however, and care must be taken to not accidentally destroy desired objects. It also slightly pull the Respondr in the direction of the pulled object, in general the effect is greater when pulling heavier objects. Objects reeled in that hit the Respondr also don't deal impact damage like they normally would.

**Client Grabbr -** 500

*"Rescuing Clients has never been easier!"*

**Client Grabbr** allows the Grappling Hook to pull Clients in when the hook retracts, if the hook hits one. Unlike with the Object Grabbr, the Respondr isn't moved during retraction and Clients are not hurt by the hook.

### Improvements

**Extended** **Spool -** 1,500 5

*"Increase the range with this extra spool of cable!"*

**Extended Spool** increases the reach of the grappling hook to approximately 5⅔ Collapsible Ladders.

**Accelerated Chargr -** 1,500 5 2

*"Fire your Grapplr up to twice as fast or faster!"*

**Accelerated Chargr** improves the Grappling Hook's recharge rate to 2 seconds.

### Utility

**Client Safety Insurance -** 2,000 1

*"Purchase this insurance to travel the skies while carrying clients"*

**Client Safety Insurance** allows you to use the Grappling Hook while carrying clients.

### Bling

**Golden Grappling Hook -** 5,000 3

*"Show off your incredible sense of style and impeccable taste"*

**Golden Grappling Hook** changes the Grappling Hook to be entirely gold.

## Tips

    The Grappling hook has a pair of lamps on its back which indicate if it can fire. If the green tick ✔ lamp is lit, the Grappling Hook can fire at whatever the Respondr is pointing it at. If the red   ⃠   lamp is lit, the Grappling hook will not hit anything or is out of range to hit whatever the Respondr is pointing it at. If no lamps are lit, it is still recharging and cannot fire.

## Trivia

The Grappling Hook is the most expensive tool but also has the cheapest combined upgrades.

If the Respondr grapples, but does not touch what they grapple to (such as if an object blocks them or if invisible walls block them from going out-of-bounds) they will stick in place against that barrier until the Grappling Hook recharges or until they switch to a different tool.
