Does the grappling hook activate grab switches? I was playing Give Up, Robot earlier on AdultSwim.com and saw (I'm applying LBP terms to G.U.R. to make it nice and easy) the great uses it gives to grab switches in conjunction with it's grappling hook. Made me think of some LBP uses. A) Can anyone tell me whether or not the Grappling Hook actually activates grab switches? B) What crazy things pertaining to this can you come up with?

Technically, no they can't. People in the BETA are bound by the NDA agreement.(Non-Disclosure Agreement.) Basically it means they can't leak info, videos, etc. to non-BETA users. (Well they can, but it'd cost them their BETA, possibly a PSN ban, and supposedly some other "trouble" for them.) Back on main topic: It does seem like it'd be a good idea tho, and makes sense since it's "grabbing" the material. Ya, I'd think it would be implemented, if not at first, maybe later. Altho who I guess we'll have to wait to be sure.

Technically, no they can't. Lolwut. He never specified who he wanted to answer it. He said "anybody" not "peoples from the beta" I'd guess so, and Mangarocks' pic seems to prove it. It'd be pretty stupid if they didn't include it.

It'd be pretty stupid if they didn't include it. Well yeah, but since it's not been technically "confirmed," only BETA people know for sure, and they wouldn't be able to tell him. The pic was found, yes, but what if it hadn't?

Yeah it would seem weird not to have this included because you are technically 'grabbing' it because the grapple hook is attached to you. As far as crazy contraptions/uses the only thing i can think of is lowering a drawbridge or trying to swing across something and then it collapsing... xD

Yes the grapple hook activates grab switches. Seeing as this information was available long before the beta started there is no problem with sharing it

Can anyone tell me if there is a tweak so the grab switch only activates when it is grabbed with a grappling hook?

B) What crazy things pertaining to this can you come up with? i would imagine that, because MM have gone with physics matching material, the grappling hook can only be used on certain materials... so perhaps you can attach a compatible material to a switch and make it invisible

Huh. I don't know, how about when your hook grabs certain points, the platform you are on disappears, and certain others also. They reappear when you let go. You could have a crazy maze of grab-able platforms, so that in order to get from point A to point B, you might have to backtrack and swing off the platform you were just on, so it requires cool "out of the box" thinking we all love. BOOM!! Best idea ever. You're welcome.

Grappling Hooks Activate Grab Switches

@SackBoy98: The Third Reply Confirmed That Already. I'd also like a tweak whether a Grappling Hook [Grapplinator ] activates Grab Switches or not... and/or an own switch for it...
