Harpoon Gun Ziplining

  • I was thinking the other day, after discovering that you can shoot your friends/loot with the harpoon gun and drag it back to the ship if there was another accurate way to get somewhere quickly beyond unloading cannons and loading yourself in. Also, utility purposes. The idea I have has probably been mentioned before, but seeing as I did not see it anywhere, I’ll post it here: Ziplining down harpoon lines.

    I’ve seen a few mentions of ziplines, but these seemed to be just a general request of ziplines. My suggestion is to implement the ability to zipline an existing line, such as ones from harpoon guns. Something to the effect of using your sword as the zipline apparatus to slide on down!

    Use #1: shoot the harpoon gun and connect to solid ground of an island, and zipline down the line to cross over the water and onto land.

    Use #2: Harpoon down lower to the side of an enemy ship to make boarding the ship easier, trying to get on the ladder.

    Obviously you can’t zipline up, because of physics, but I think it’d be an interesting and fun addition to the game, for sure.

  • @thelostsentinel +1 to this. It would be a ton of fun to harpoon the top of an island so your buddy could zipline their way back to the boat.

    For boarding other boats though you might need a zipline in the crow's next (because gravity).

  • @prescafatty Also a use for it! I had not thought of using it to allow friends to travel back, considering you can just use the harpoon to shoot and bring them back, but it takes the pain of aiming out of it, so that's an idea for sure!
