Thanks! A dirty little secret about the grappling hook is that it hits the moment you hit E and the rope itself is just a particle effect - take a look at the indicator for the amount of grapples you have on your HUD when you press it :)
Oooh that makes sense, I didn't realize that, I did notice that the counter for the amount of grapples goes down but I thought it just goes down soon as you shoot the grapple, not when it hits, thanks for letting me know!
