— In-Game Description

The Grappler is a Ranged Consumable item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 5. The Grappler has two Mythic variants: Skye's Grappler and Jules' Glider Gun. Its Exotic version is the Icy Grappler.

Functionality[]

The Grappler is a medium ranged utility weapon, which is designed to greatly aid the player's mobility, by pulling them forwards towards a selected location. Firing the Grappler launches out a plunger, and if this plunger connects with a surface, the player will be pulled upwards and towards it. This can be used to gain vertical and horizontal distance very quickly.

Missing a shot with the Grappler will not use any ammo. Missing will result in a short delay before it can be fired again. When all 10 charges have been depleted, the item will disappear from the players inventory.

Stats[]

The Grappler uses Hooks - Ammunition - Fortnite Hooks which cannot be obtained outside of the weapon's reserve.

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Grappler can be used to counter players who are building high up, as it can be used to quickly pull yourself up to their build.
  • The Grappler can be used to negate fall damage, if you are able to connect a shot with a surface, to pull you towards it and land safely.
  • Fall damage still applies when using this weapon. If you pull yourself too high up and either fail to use it again, or it is discarded, you will take fall damage.

  • Update v5.40: Added the Grappler in Epic rarity. It has 15 charges.

Season 6[]

  • Update v6.00: Grappler charges reduced to 10.
    • Added momentum functionality to Grapplers. When hitting a moving object (vehicle, player), its momentum will be added to your launch force. You cannot lose momentum Grappling to a slower object.
  • Update v6.21:
    • When grappling as a vehicle passenger, the velocity of your vehicle is factored into the grapple force.
      • Only occurs in instances where vehicle velocity will be a net gain to grapple force.
      • Grappling as a vehicle passenger will now cause the vehicle to travel in a straight line to its destination rather than traveling in an arc.
  • Update v6.30: When a vehicle passenger uses a Grappler, the movement has been smoothed out by retaining more vehicle momentum.

Trivia[]

  • The item appeared as a choice in the Unvaulting Event. It lost to the Drum Gun.
  • The Grappler has several variants of the item. These are:
  • When appearing in LTMs, the Grappler often has infinite uses.
  • The Grappler has a glitch in Team Rumble and Creative in which if a player is eliminated when the Grappler sticks on a surface, the player cannot switch to other items/weapons after being respawned. This resulted in the item being disabled in Team Rumble several times.
  • You can shoot the Grappler onto an Rocket Launcher rocket you fired to boost forward. You can then use it again on the ground to not take damage.
  • A version of the Grappler can be made in LEGO Fortnite.
