I bounced this idea around with my friends for a bit, and I think it could be quite cool.
The idea is that it's a shorter range handheld harpoon gun, much like the ones on ships, that can let players grab treasures that are out of reach, and maybe having some grapple and pull qualities, but I foresee that possessing jank, but it would be cool to water ski from the back of a ship
I've thought about it both as a treasure item and as a weapon
as a weapon, so one would need to sacrifice having a second gun or a sword for the utility, and picked up items enter the player's hands
or have it be a treasure item like the trident of dark tides, so it needs to be picked up and carried, and the treasure picked up would either be dropped at the players feet, or stuck on the end like the old harpoons. Could also be sold to the hunter's call, or even purchased from them.
