Weapon : Grappling gun

Should be a portable version of this thing.

Graplling once acquired allow a new set of abilities to the player, by the way it won't lift any heavy-armored player anywhere.

Weapon type: One-handed
Projectile-drop: Very-high
Shooting mode : press fire to shot / if locked you will be propulsed to the hitted spot.
Ammo: unlimited

Within the limited range of the rope with your harpoongun you can :

1 - Reach areas the player could not climb on, natural or artificial however some surface might be too hard for the grappling to pierce or to hang to

2 - Kill a target, but if lighter than you It will then take It to you while its still alive and screaming in pain so watchout of last grenade moves. However some enemies bodies can be used as anchor if heavy enough to lift you up or down.
