The Grappler is an item players can use in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
It was added in patch 5.40 with the introduction of the High Stakes event, and was vaulted in the 7.21 Content Update, due to its ability to retake high ground with minimal effort. It is later unvaulted in Chapter 2 - Season 2 as a special Mythic item by killing Skye in The Shark.
It is also available in Creative mode, however, it attaches to anything players hit for quick traversal.
