“Fires a harpoon into the target with a rope attached that players can slide along”

Overview

The Zipline is a Medium Build exclusive gadget focused on arena traversal. It can be deployed by simply aiming and placing the end of the line. It will automatically spawn a starting point at the feet of the user. Any contestant can use the zipline after is placed, including enemies.

Uses & Interactions

The Zipline's main strength is creating paths where there were none before. If all paths to an important area of the arena have been destroyed, the user can create a new path to allow access to it. If you need to quickly move across a large open space, the Zipline can also offer a solution. Creating new paths allows the user to reposition their team to an advantageous point, or create new opportunities to flank enemies and be aggressive.

A weakness of the Zipline is how easily the line can be destroyed. Enemy contestants may sabotage the user by simply shooting the poles at either end, and many players have found their deaths after the Zipline broke halfway between two skyscrapers. Another disadvantage of the Zipline is the slow movement when actively using it, which can cause the user to be vulnerable, especially in midair without cover.

-The zipline has one big strength, which is creating paths where there were none before. If enemies destroyed all ways to get onto suspended structures, you can create a new path to get on top of it. If you need to quickly move across a large open space, the zipline can also offer a solution. The zipline has two notable weaknesses. The line itself does not take in account that there might be physical obstacles. this could make a zipline completely useless.  The other weakness is how easily the line can be destroyed by other players by simply shooting the poles at either end. Many players have found their deaths after the zipline broke halfway between two skyscrapers.
