Grappling Hook: Confirmed Function
The official page confirms the shortcut behavior but leaves its Mechanics section empty. It does not define valid hook targets, the pull path, whether attachment persists or how the player releases.
Setup and Production Role
The official example uses the shortcut while placing Hauler Drones over long distances, so the verified practical role is maintaining construction or placement flow during traversal.
Limits and Verification
Range, target rules, cooldown, movement physics, unlock price or ticket requirement, fall protection, remapped-key display and controller input are undocumented.
