Please add Grappling hooks!

  • I think it would be fun to be able to grapple a ship and pull the ships together!

  • @ThatMrBrock Search up "Grapple Gun Gadget". I think those are the best functions for a weapon tool such as this.

  • @thatmrbrock Well, that’s not a bad idea. But at the same time, it would be too annoying. You’d have to cut the rope everytime.

  • @spaark99 you could make it to where you can only hold 4 grappling hooks at one time.

  • This is another good idea for ship customization. They need to let us put different things other than just cannons

  • Please don't

  • They could add a Batman Utility Belt too.

    I don't understand the purpose of this comment, Mr. Spaark

  • @cap-h-barbossa I can dream, can’t I? Please don’t hit me.

  • @thatmrbrock

    Totally agree!

    Also by adding a grappling hook would add more ways of getting onto an enemy ship, other than the two ladders.

  • now that would be the best ever right there man the thing's and place's we could go

  • I'm not sure how I feel about this for ship utility, but I kind of like the idea of using it personally. The ability to hang or swing from some kind of reusable hook/rope equipment would be a lot of fun, particularly when exploring islands. If it ended up being too unreasonable or unbalanced, maybe it could replace a weapon slot to create some interesting choices and trade-offs for the player.

    I have no idea how feasible that is in this engine, though.

  • I want to be able to do that :

  • Naw not grappling hooks we need some harpoons that penetrate the middle/lower deck that stops people from escaping or allow us to drag them into danger, or shoot at someone lol

  • I love this idea. Though I think it should be made a very rare item. Also, I think it would be necessary to have a way to remove them such as cutting the ropes.

    You can do this with the anchor... We do it all the time to broadside people.

    We also don't need a grapple hook weapon, just a grapple hook "ammo" for the cannons so you can load one in a cannon and then if you hit the ship it would hook you to it and give you an option on the rope like raising / lowering a sail where you can press W or S to pull in the hook or let out more rope.

    I would love to see the ability to get near enough to another ship to launch two hooks at it and then reel it in so you are locked side-by-side to jump from ship to ship while you duke it out with swords and guns battling for each others loot. I also like the idea of attacking the rope to cut the hook loose.

    Not really the same thing. And what I really wanted to say is that the grapple could be used in many ways and not just to hang boats together.

  • Would be much more piratey than shooting ourselves out of cannons... I still think that was spontaneous addition so they had a new feature for that E3... it ruins ship combat as most people are to oblivious to guard their ladders, are we circus clowns or are we pirates? REMOVE MAN CANNONS and GIVE US ROPES/HARPOONS/GRAPPLING HOOKS!!!!

    That should get them to add them right? Lol

  • @a-cranky-eskimo Neh! I be keeping my jolly canon flying pirates career on tracks!
    Heard some lads talking about getting rid of me bunny hopping mania! I can conceit me bunnies but not me flying seagull mentality!
    Agreed on the grappling hook though me hearty. Can ye imagine the crazy SpirateMan stuff ye could do ?

    Example me lad:
    Shoot me on close the mast, for I can grapple on the crow's nest and swing down to fight ! ARRRR!

    Skilled pirates will be crazy bubble gums just hanging from every places and singing:
    Speeder Pirate, Speeder Pirate, do whatever a Speeder Pirate does!

    I'd love to give this a try should the sea gods require it!

  • @ironuzuka the catch of another ships yardarm with it would be cool but it would need a cooldown timer while the rope either reels in or in the cAse of a harpoon fun you would need to tie the end you have to something and then reload. No just cause grappling lol. That’s not what I’m suggesting. A SoT style one can and should be done imo.

  • How about grappling books?

  • this is like the 25th thread about grappling hooks...

  • A single grappling hook and line would be a great and USEFUL item for this game! I cant count how many times I want to quickly scale a cliffside and end up using a cannon... Which can be difficult to aim and I end up flinging myself past the island and into the sea on the other side...

  • @thatmrbrock I am going to direct you to this thread, by the ever so talented @ShootHere4EXP, regarding grapple guns, hooks, etc.
