This mod transforms the K-2 Throwing Knife into a straight-shooting grappling knife! Complete with a special crosshair and a couple of visual cues, the knife pulls the user to where it lands (which should always be where the crosshair is), much like grappling hooks in many other games.
Disconnect the grapple by pressing spacebar.
You can hook onto enemies (or friends!), automatically take the closest seat to the knife when grappling onto a vehicle, disconnect a line mid-air if you missed your target, and a LOT more!
I've also included a Mod Options page for tweaking your knife's stats/functions and HUD elements.
Enjoy!! I want to see clips all over!
REQUIREMENTS:
Bingus Shared Loader v15 or newer
Vanilla Plus Megapack/Mod Options (for Mod Options features)
A love of the game
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Grappling to a seat under certain conditions may cause a desync. This has only happened once so it might be rare.
- Cable rendering cuts off near the player.
- Setting knife stats to their maximum multiplier may have negative consequences, such as the cable breaking early, environmental damage, or desync. I set up everything the way it is by default for both balancing and to avoid these issues. Use the stat Mod Options at your OWN RISK!
- Player collision is mostly disabled during grappling, which may have unintended side effects.
- Low FPS systems will sometimes cause the grapple to break prematurely. I tried a couple of things to fix it but it still happens sometimes, especially on downward angles.

LORE NOBODY CARES ABOUT:
The experimental K-X Cable Knife and accompanying system have been approved for Helldiver testing across the galaxy.
Casualties caused by use of the K-X Cable Knife are to be disregarded as user error, while successful ventures should be documented and publicly released.
The K-X Cable Knife is affixed to a harness beneath the user's armor by several hundred meters of coiled nano-wire. A thrown knife is jet-propelled toward the user's intended destination. Contact with a surface by the knife activates the coiling system in the harness via wireless signal, rapidly pulling the user toward the knife's impact site.
Having expended its small fuel reserve and likely being damaged by the impact, the spent knife should be severed from the cable, and replaced by a factory-new reserve.
