The Grappleshot is a piece of wrist-mounted UNSC equipment.[2]
Overview
The Grappleshot was the product of Project Magnes, which begun in 2549.[3] The Grappleshot fires a grappling hook that can attach to a surface and pull its user towards it, allowing for easier traversal of their environment.
Operational history
In October 2559, Fre-104 uses his grappledhot to strangle an enemy Jiralhanae during Operation: WOLFE, before pulling himself even enough with the Jiralhanae to stab it in the back of the neck.[4]
John-117 made use of a grappleshot with his MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN3] Mark VI, during the Installation 07 conflict in May 2560.[1]
Gameplay
Halo Infinite
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 coils or a gravity hammer. After use, the grappleshot has a short cooldown time before it can be used again.[1] It is available in multiplayer as well, but with only 3 to 5 uses before running out of charges.[2][5]
Production notes
While the Grappleshot's first in-game appearance occurred in Halo Infinite, the idea of a grappling hook has been around for many years, with Bungie or 343 Industries trying the mechanic on several prior Halo titles, ultimately shelving it due to the mechanic not working well.[6]
