| The grappleshot is a piece of usable equipment in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', which the player can use to move rapidly towards a location or enemy. It can also be used to retrieve distant items, such as [[fusion coil]]s or a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]. The grappleshot can also be used to stagger [[Kig-Yar Freebooter]]s and [[Kig-Yar Raider|Raider]]s, knocking their hand-held shields aside and briefly rendering them exposed. The grappleshot itself also deals minor damage, enabling it to finish off severely damaged enemies. After use, the grappleshot has a short cooldown time before it can be used again.{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}} If the grappleshot fails to connect to a surface, is used to stagger a Kig-Yar, or is used to finish off a wounded enemy, the cooldown will not be triggered. Like other pieces of equipment in the campaign, the grappleshot can be upgraded by collecting and spending [[Spartan core]]s. | | The Grappleshot is a piece of usable equipment in ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', which the player can use to move rapidly towards a location or enemy.

| ====Upgrades====
| |
| In the campaign, the Grappleshot can be upgraded using Spartan cores.
| |
| | |
| *'''Voltaic''' (1 Core): Grappleshot stuns grappled enemies for several seconds. Stunned enemies will either be electrocuted or will assume defensive postures and freeze in place.
| |
| | |
| *'''Quickshot''' (2 Cores): Reduces Grappleshot cooldown by 40%.
| |
| | |
| *'''First Strike''' (3 Cores): Delivers a powerful shockwave blast when holding the melee button while grappling.
| |
| | |
| *'''Reachfall''' (3 Cores): Increases the damage and radius of the shockwave blast. Enemies within it will be stunned.
| |
| | |
| ===Notes===
| |
| *The grappleshot's Voltaic attack may not always stun grappled enemies. Typically, high ranking enemies, such as [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s, will not be affected. However, there is a chance that even a common, low-ranking enemy will be able to resist the Voltaic attack.
| |
| *The player does not need to grapple an enemy to perform a First Strike.
| |
| *Reachfall will also stun nearby Marines.
| |
| | |
| ===Trivia===
| |
| *During a cutscene in the mission ''[[Excavation Site]]'', John-117 uses his grappleshot to swing a loose container at [[Bassus]], an ability not available during actual gameplay.
