What weapon is it? It is the weapon “Grapple-o-Tron”. This is a new weapon specifically designed in an appropriate futuristic alien style for Season 7.
The most important information about the Grapple-o-Tron
Where can I find it? The Grapple-o-Tron can be found anywhere with a bit of luck. There is no specific place where it will definitely spawn. It is best to let yourself be abducted by one of the large UFOs and thus have the chance to pull one from the chests at the end or you open as many chests as possible during a match.
What can the weapon do? The weapon is nothing more than a compact tractor beam, with which you can pull items towards you, carry them in front of you, or push them back at targets.
How do I use it best? Since the weapon sometimes has its quirks, you should know how to use it properly and when.
You can lift almost anything that is not nailed down. Everything from bushes to rock formations can be lifted and thrown away. You can even carry vending machines and provide them to your mates.
It is best to lift smaller items and then throw them as projectiles at your opponents. Since the weight of the object should be kept as low as possible to throw it as far as you can, larger objects like rock formations or cars would be rather disadvantageous to use.
The Grapple-o-Tron is a cool futuristic device that can score points in some situations and is worth considering. However, since it is more of a fun gadget, a solid assault rifle or shotgun would be better suited in your loadout.
