[Grappling Hook]

Effects

  • Replaces the dodge roll with a teleport. Pressing the dodge button teleports the player a short distance in the direction they are moving. This can be used as a pseudo-dodge roll for players using controllers. The distance traveled is about the same as a dodge roll, but a timing adjustment is needed. The regular timing for dodge rolling will not work, because unlike regular dodge rolls, the player is not invincible until the trigger is released
  • Holding down the dodge button allows the player to teleport to the location of the cursor, shown by a shadow of the player's character. With a controller, the shadow gets created at the player's current position, and is controlled by the right analog stick (so any aiming will displace the teleport target).
  • If the player attempts to blink into a solid object or off a ledge, the shadow will turn red, and the player will be teleported as far as safely possible in that direction. This safety also exists for flying players. This also means that if the flying player is already over a pit, then dodging will be entirely disabled unless there is solid ground in range.
  • This also prevents the player from blinking onto rails that run over pits in Black Powder Mine , and blinking onto the spine bridge that appears after defeating the Dragun .
  • Blinking onto bullets will cause them to dissipate, and they won't cause damage.
  • Decreases reload times by 30%.

Notes

  • Raizo's Stuff - If the player also has [Grappling Hook] , bullets shot while being pulled with the grappling hook gain homing.
  • Venom Veins - If the player also has [Mutation] , [Mutation] poisons enemies.
  • Can be used to blink through locked doors which otherwise require the player to use a key or stand on a pressure plate to open. Does not work if the door is facing downward.
  • Can be used to find secret rooms. The teleport icon will appear grey when over the part of the wall that becomes the path. Technically, you can enter the room, but you won't be able to see anything without using a blank outside of the secret room. Blanking inside the secret room will not reveal it.
  • Can be used to rescue NPCs before acquiring the Cell Key by teleporting into their cell.
  • The player can teleport through the two walls that access the entrance to the Resourceful Rat 's lair,not being able to see anything but still able to use the Gnawed Key to open the entrance.
  • Can be used to teleport behind Wallmonger , out of reach of the boss's attacks. However, the camera will remained locked on to the Wallmonger.
  • Repeatedly teleporting in place can effectively grant immunity to bullets.
  • When using the Bloodied Scarf in The Aimless Void , the player will dodge roll normally instead of teleporting.
  • The [Rolling Eye] , [Resourceful Sack] , and [Daruma] become useless as the player can no longer roll through bullets.
  • Using the Bloodied Scarf will still cause the player to drop the [Busted Television] .
  • If the player is on fire, teleporting will instantly cause the fire to go away.
  • The teleport is still considered a dodge roll despite having replaced the action, so teleporting can still fail challenges issued by the Gunsling King and Manservantes to clear rooms without dodge rolling.
  • The teleport can be used to reach normally inaccessible areas present in certain layouts of [Winchester] (NPC) 's games and improve the vantage point, and the player will not be penalised for doing so.
