The grappling gun gets a quick pass this update modifying both its visuals and functionality. The grapple rope will now for a spiral in-flight and pull taught when applying force. The first person animation has also been tweaked to execute the pull at the same time as the force being applied. Finally, the pull has been given the ability to better cancel momentum and the projectile sped up for easier execution.
A handful of new cosmetics and challenges are also available this update. The new challenges are all mining and refining related and can be found under the "Cargo Hauling" challenge category.
