Please keep it on topic, and civil, we want serious feedback

should have the ability to shoot horizontally to tight-rope across the buildings. I'm tired of spawning on people on frugis and needing to jump down and get 90% of my health in damage because there's no safe way down and the rope is nowhere to be seen

[jade gulch]

maybe some seconds without receiving fall damage after spawn would help with it tho, create a suggestion i think they could add it

[warm mesa]

The reload on the grapple hook is a bit bugged

it ends way later than the animation, leads to it feeling very sluggish and annoying to use

[empty swan]

Alt fire Zipline would be so fun!!

[dark niche]

A really fun peice of equipment that is locked to the sniper class, why? I want to use this as an engineer.

[half echo]

I think it would be cool to add a small XP reward when allies use your tether to climb up it somewhere. It would be analogous to the transportation bonus.
Perhaps it would be worthwhile to make that for kills within some time after climbing the rope, the one who put the rope, goes additional experience.
Also, it would be funny if killing an enemy by allies while he is climbing your rope, will give you experience. Because if you put a rope in a place that is well visible to allies, and you get a player to climb it, I think it should be rewarded.

[tired flame]

Could add an indicator for friendly ropes so it isnt so hard to find them once youve climbed

[pliant marten]

its also on assault

[tired flame]

Let us hook people

It drags them around until they cut the rope

[pallid sinew]

this feels like it could be abused so easily

[half echo]

Probably yes, but I think the situation here would be identical to the transportation bonus. That is, you can actually only do points for kills after climbing the rope. Or make some minimum number of points for climbing the rope. Or count points only once per rope per life or per time.

I'd like to see it rewarded in principle in some way, and making it some good XP source isn't necessary.

[pallid sinew]

if this does happen i would suggest that they would max the points to 1000-5000 max points per round

bc smalls maps all they would have to do is cut the rope

grenade themselves then put another rope

[half echo]

I'd like to see some sort of minimum experience gain from this (like, idk, 2-20 points depending on the length of the rope), but seeing those numbers and realizing that you helped the team - I like that idea.
I agree that they could make a small number of points or limit the total number of points, making it so that just by healing allies you can gain a lot more points.

Really wish we would be able to resupply the grappling hook "gas" and count at supply drops/heavy ammo boxes.
It feels bad to have to use a large amount of gas for 1 hook on maps that have a lot of vertical height and that's all you can deploy for that 1 life.

[waxen trench]

Or just SIGNIFICANTLY increase the gas capacity (like, at least 300% of what it is now), or even remove the gas part altogether

[warm mesa]

The reload on it is still bugged I'm pretty sure. You cancel the reload by swapping from it a lot, which is annoying because it looks like it's finished reloading

[hollow bane]

What if it were a light gadget?

[warm mesa]

Like a big flashlight?

Lol I'm down

[hollow bane]

No I mean like in the same slot as smoke grenade launcher and c4 and the like.

[warm mesa]

Oh 😔

I got excited for this new invention

[hollow bane]

Having just a really massive flashlight would be cool though

Just become a floodlight

[warm mesa]

Pretty much yee

[jagged niche]

And unlike weapons / rpgs the state of reload is not saved
Also currently the ammo counter is bugged: if you have 2 charges and use both it still shows you got 1 left, you can even do a full reload that will put the counter to 0

Would like for it to be possible while climbing to cut the part of the rope that is below you, probably would require you to be not moving
Allows to leave the rope for getting down and making it more difficult to fully destroy from low ground

Really enjoying the flanks it opens on waki

[jagged niche]

50% extra would be enough imo

[waxen trench]

If you're running 4 hooks (which is kinda what you wanna do), then 50% more wouldn't be even nearly enough

[jagged niche]

I play assault and last thing I want is a backpack slowing me down
2 hooks are fine for me
I can see your point though and pethaps it can be twraked so that the gas amount is dependant on backpack type / total hooks

[frigid lava]

I want to be able to spear an enemy with the grapple

[warm mesa]

See, it's a good idea

[old imp]

There was a time where you could spear incapacitated people, could be a fun thing to have back in the casual modes whereas in hardcore it would ofc have no place.

[crisp scarab]

could have it where if you grapple a down person it pulls them toward you XD

[pine whale]

If you crouch (or prone) next to the top of a grapple you should be able to climb down it. I climb up places just to have to jump down and die at the bottom
