Grappling Hooks

[Artius_One]

I feel as though grappling hooks should be added to Warframe. A grappling hook would help a ton when mining in caves in Eidolon, or get to places that you can't usually reach, but there's loot. I recommend this because when I went mining in a cave in Eidolon, my Nosam Cutter detected an ore/gem that was 17 meters above me, and i couldn't mine it because I didn't have a platform to stand on nearby, and i though a grappling hook would make it easier to mine those gems that are out of reach.

I think they just shouldn't spawn the ores that far up tbh. Should be like, predetermined spots. 

[Sziklamester]

I am agreeing we need them. Useful tools if there are places what you cannot reach normally.

There's one frame that does, in fact, have a grappling hook, and another that can place a traversable line that serves the same purpose.

The names elude me at this time.

Valkyr has a grappling hook

ivara can set the line to walk on

I understand that, but Valkyr's grappling hook is more for mobility and combat, and Ivara is just a tad bit difficult to get for beginners. Those who want to play in Eidolon as they begin to play Warframe may need better means to getting to ores if they don't have neither Valkyr nor Ivara. And being on the subject of Eidolon, one of the latest "expansions", The Mask of The Revenant, has messed with AI's of the enemies, as well as the overall progression of the game. I feel as though the Revenant should be allowed to be acquired before you meet the Quills, despite the fact that you may need some backround on the sentients in order to get him. Or, as an alternative, buff Revenant enough to actually feel as though he's worth getting. I feel like Gara is possibly better than Revenant in many ways, and that Gara should be switched with the Revenant. As in, the Revenant should be able to be acquired earlier in the game, unless he gets buffed, and Gara can only be acquired later in the game, possibly around the time you get to do "The War Within", unless Gara gets nerfed a fair bit.

Omfg another "Revenant" post, DE have already said they are working on him.

Sorry about that, I just wanted to get that out of the way.

Had to get it out of your way that you had to nekro your own dead thread so you could share it. Makes me think of this

[-skimmer-]

how about a shotgun with a grapple hook?

[Loza03]

I don't think Frames need a grappling hook. They're agile enough already.

But what about our Z-kids? Grappling hooks could improve their agility without making them carbon-copies of Warframes, movement-wise. Void-dashing to a high place could be combod into a grappling hook to hang in position, or swinging to maintain momentum after a dash and save energy while moving.

That would also be helpful, but I don't mean that Grappling Hooks should be used everywhere. I think they should be used specifically for Eidolon, similar to how the K-Drive is supposed to only work in Fortuna, or how the Archwing is used for certain missions and in Eidolon.

What makes you think someone new to Warframe should be able to access/do the same thing as people who are not so new?

Eh. Seems way too restrictive. Sure, it's irritating having gems out of reach, but I think a grappling hook would fit better on the Operators as a movement ability rather than a single-purpose tool.

Also, K-drives will be usable in PoE too, and Archwing in Fortuna (although the storms will apparently make Archwing in Fortuna more difficult, somehow.)

I don't believe that someone new to Warframe should be able to do exactly as veterans can. Grappling hooks should just be only in Eidolon, just to make mining easier.

Fair enough

[Firetempest]

The game looks for certain rock textures to put mining nodes on. For every one that may be out of reach, there is a whole map of them that are at foot level. Not really a big deal.

As someone who won't stop trying to get the resource as soon as I see it, it is a big deal.

Ore we could simply just not have mining points in unreachable places?

Nice pun

Yeah, no. We got bullet jumping.

Bullet jumping can get so far. Bullet jumping is more useful to jump farther, and you would be constantly moving, making it a slight bit harder to mine.

[(PSN)sack_shot01]

I kinda actually want a grappling hook but as a secondary weapon, so we can grapple hook enemies and melee them batman style. Please DE make grapple hooks happen.

[Obviousclone]

A grappling hook, the ability to roll around as a ball, and a dream

[trst]

The chance of some ores spawning in difficult to reach areas doesn't constitute adding such a feature.

Plus beyond ores there are no areas in the game which you're intended to reach and are unable to.
