Explosive Batarang & Batman Grapnel Gun

• Batman Grapnel Gun
  • Available in Mythic variant.
  • Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
  • The Batman Grapnel Gun comes with 10 charges. A charge is consumed each time the player is launched.
  • When the grappling hook from the Batman Grapnel Gun impacts something in the environment, the owner will be launched in a flat arc towards the point of impact. 
  • At the apex of the launch, the player will deploy the Bat Cape, which can be used like any other Glider to traverse great distances.

• Explosive Batarang
  • Available in Mythic variant.
  • Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
  • Drops in stacks of 5.
  • Max stack size is 10.
  • This consumable item is thrown out in a relatively flat arc. It will home in towards opponents.  
  • The projectile explodes when in close proximity to an opponent.
    • Explosion damage:
      • 50 damage to players.
      • 200 damage to the environment.
  • If the Explosive Batarang impacts the environment, it will stick to the spot where it lands. At that point, it behaves as a proximity mine, exploding when opponents come too close to it.
    • An Explosive Batarang that has impacted the environment can be disarmed and picked up by both the player who threw it or their allies.
