I hope the Grapple Hook isn't too OP in campaign..

Games Halo Infinite

From what I hear, you can frankly grab on to anything with the grapple hook. You can grab banshees, guns, fusion coils, enemies, terrain, probably even players. Sounds like something the company really wanted to encourage with open world, but honestly it sounds like a crutch in my opinion. Like from my perspective, it feels like a handicap to what we used to do in Halo campaigns.

Hopefully its a lot more difficult to use, otherwise, I don’t want to know that the campaign is reliant on the grapple hook.

They made it quite clear on the recent podcast that it takes a lot of skill to pull off the really big things (eg. hijack a banshee).

I would imagine that it will have a slow trajectory speed, low aim assist, and a long reset time. Enough at least to make it fairly crutchless.

Looking forward to seeing what can be done… especially in multiplayer. Grappling weapons sounds like a blast.

I just believe it will bring a benefit of exploration and skull hunting that for sure

I don’t think it’ll be too OP if they build the game around the mechanic.

For the banshee, they mentioned that grappling onto a banshee is not something that can happen every 10 minutes into the game. It requires skill and has to be done right. Grappling guns off the ground also requires skill, and I’m sure the grappling hook has at least a 5 second cool down, and minor to no aim assist when using it, making it much more difficult to use and requiring skill.

Im just looking forward to using it to explore the open world

I hope it’s the most broken thing ever. Looking to have kids of fun.

I hope the grapple won’t replace the thruster pack from Halo 5 and the jet pack frome Halo Reach will return

This is an old thread but I think it has relevance - after playing the campaign…. I feel that the grapple hook just makes everything so easy - killing bosses, stealing vehicles to name but a few - what do people think?
