鉤子 is a default action item for all classes. It can be used to move yourself from one location to the next in the Mannpower game mode. Additionally, it negates fall damage after use, and deals 1 point of damage, or 2 points if the hit is a headshot. Spies can also use the grapple hook when disguised or invisible.

Bugs

• Switching weapons after use will increase weapon switch speed massively.
• Name & Description Tags have no effect when used on a Grappling Hook.
• The player can repair friendly buildings with the Grappling Hook if they have the Rescue Ranger equipped.
• Using the action key to use the grappling hook can lead to the weapon selection failing and possibly the primary fire getting stuck on. If this happens, the player can go into the console and type in -attack to fix it.

Trivia

• The model for this weapon currently uses the Flame Thrower texture.
• The attached Grapple uses the same model as the syringe of the Medic's Primary Weapons. It also uses the Crusader's Crossbow's firing sound for its deployment.
