Fixing the Snap Hook Exploit

Discussion

Okay, here’s a cleaned-up version in English:

I know I’m probably not the first to mention this, but these videos where streamers use the grappling hook and then instantly stash it in a secure pocket really frustrate me.

That’s clearly not how it was intended to work.

Here are a few possible solutions I see:

  1. Some kind of “gold” augmentation that includes a dedicated slot for the grappling hook — so it’s both safe and quickly accessible. Though I admit that might be too overpowered.
  2. Prevent the grappling hook from being placed in the secure pocket at all, similar to how weapons or shields.
  3. Add a timer before it can be put away — for example, 10 seconds. That would be more than enough for map traversal, but not ideal for PvP. Maybe even 15 seconds, so there’s at least some downside for streamers — they jump behind enemy lines like a clever ninja and then sit behind a crate waiting for the cooldown.
