Game information

A closed grappler room

The grappler is the only man block that does not need to be commanded. Whenever an enemy saboteur attacks the player's tank, the grappler will drop down, go to the ground beneath his target, and fire upwards, knocking the saboteur to the ground and back to his tank. The grappler will also walk over to enemy tanks and knock repair men and even engineers to the ground.

When there is nobody in the open, the grappler with his hook will fire it at his block, pull himself up, and stay in there until someone comes out of their block. While in his block, he will twirl his hook. The player's grappler can also be used to defend the player saboteur while on another tank. The grappler's block starts at 200 health points and can be upgraded to 220.
