Grapple Bungle
The quick grapple pull-out by ‘agiantkenyan’ earned some admiration, but the premature firing did not escape the community’s mockery. As user ‘RedditMods-Fascists’ pointed out, it \”hurt to watch lol. When you instantly pulled out the grapple, I was impressed with your quick thinking. Then you fired it too early haha\”
Just Grappling With The Problem Here
A few more conscientious members of the community leveraged the thread as an opportunity to provide some tactical advice about how to avoid similar slip-ups. As ‘jroman00’ soberly recommended, \”Look straight down at the ground when you shoot the grappler\”
