Furthermore, the Grapple Glider can save your life when the structures beneath you come crashing down. With some quick reflexes, you can use it to latch onto a sturdy surface and then whip out your Glider to avoid fall damage.
What does the Grapple Glider do?
The Grapple Glider is what it sounds like, a Grappler mixed with a Glider. It functions like a regular Grappler, except upon gaining enough height, users get a prompt to redeploy their Glider.
