It sounds like it would have been a relic from this older version of the game, but &#8220;the Snap Hook has been in the game since the beginning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The difference between it and the jump pads is that the Snap Hook &#8220;managed to pivot well&#8221; into the slower, methodical gameplay Embark was aiming for after settling on a more immersive extraction shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Braga explains that it used to be more or less unrestricted, and you could fly around &#8220;like Spider-Man&#8221;. In its current form, outside of physics-defying tech players have figured out, the Snap Hook is just intended to reach high ledges faster. Honestly, I can&#8217;t even begin to imagine what kind of broken movement tech players would have uncovered with the old version of this tool.
