The Grappling Hook is a 3D model of a white hook, and a gray handle attached with a black string. There is a number in parentheses near the name of the item to indicate the number of times the player can use it.
Usage[]
General[]
The Grappling Hook when used.
The Grappling Hook, upon usage, will swiftly attach to whatever solid surface the player aims at, then pull the player towards that target at a very high speed. If it hits a surface, the surface cracks, though this is purely cosmetic. The crack will disappear after the player reaches the target. The more the player throws hooks at once in the same direction, the faster they will be pulled to the surface where the hooks get attached to. If the player throws the hooks in different directions, the player will have their movement restricted until one of the hooks snaps. The more different the directions, the more restricted their movement will be.
The Grappling Hook can be used to escape from characters and/or skip their challenges. However, if the player is stuck in something for a few seconds or is teleported by other characters after the Grappling Hook hits a surface, it will be destroyed with a snapping sound.
The instructions that show how to use the Grappling Hook to get An Apple for Baldi.
The Grappling Hook hitting an apple tree.
Using this item to hit the trunk of a tree that bears An Apple for Baldi will cause the apple to fall to the ground, allowing the player to pick it up. One of the classrooms' chalkboards has visual instructions for how to obtain An Apple for Baldi using a Grappling Hook.
While the Big Ol' Boots is activated, the player will not be pulled until the effect of the Boots expires.
In the Grapple Challenge, the player has a Grappling Hook item in the first slot with infinite uses. It's a Bully will not steal this item from their inventory, but he will not let the player pass if they only have this item.

Other appearances[]
Grappling Hook in the Full Game Early Demo.
In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, the Grappling Hook is located in the faculty room with 1st Prize, who is deactivated. When the hook is thrown at It's a Bully, it will stop at the tile right in front of his location.
The Grappling Hook has one of the highest quality sample rate sounds in the entire game, as it's launching sound has a whopping sample rate of 384000 Hertz, where in comparison, the Clang and Loop sounds both have a sample rate of 44100 Hertz.
When the Grappling Hook snaps, it makes the same sound when Baldibreaks his ruler. Prior to V0.6.1. the color of the caption was green like Baldi's, and since this update, its color is white.
This made the Grappling Hook the only item with different colored captions.
In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the caption color is green instead.
In the Grapple Challenge, the item's name when selected says it has 5 uses, even though in this challenge, the Grappling Hook is infinite. In addition, when using the Grappling Hook in this challenge, the number becomes 4 for a split second, before switching back to 5.
Prior to V0.2, the model of the Grappling Hook when used was the item sprite, and it did not have a sprite when the Grappling Hook hit a wall. Also, the Grappling Hook only had a one-time use instead of 5 uses.
Prior to V0.4, launching and pulling speeds were slower, and It's a Bully used to block the Grappling Hook.
If the Grappling Hook is obtained from the Crazy Vending Machine, the number of uses will be a random number. (The number of uses is normally 5, but here the value can vary between 1 and 5.)
In V1.0, the Grappling Hook would immediately disappear if the player was too close to the surface.
Glitches[]
Baldi's Basics Plus/Classic Remastered[]
If using a Grappling Hook in quick succession, it will sometimes float in the air.
Baldi's Basics Plus[]
Baldi "blocks" the Grappling Hook.
In V0.3.3 and V0.3.4, there was a chance that the Grappling Hook would seemingly attach to any character when fired.
In V0.3.5, when the player used the Grappling Hook on a window, it would not pull the player towards the window and the player could still walk or run. Over time, the Grappling Hook would not affect anything, and it would eventually disappear.
Prior to V0.3.8, if the inventory was filled with items, switching a Grappling Hook held in the first item slot with any other item would immediately replace the item with the Grappling Hook, making the switched item disappear permanently.
Since this version, if the player tries to swap the grappling hook with another item, it will be stored in the second slot instead.
Prior to V0.6.1, the Grappling Hook's pulling noise was not affected by audio settings. This glitch still occurs in Classic Remastered, however.
In V0.4 Pre-release, even if the Grappling Hook hit an apple tree, An Apple for Baldi did not fall to the ground.
Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo[]
The Grappling Hook can pass through a wall if the player uses it close to the wall.
In V1.0, the player would pass through locked swinging doors when the item was used.
When the Grappling Hook pulls the player to its location. Note that the speed and pitch of this sound get higher over time as the player gets dragged by the Grappling Hook.
*SNAP*
Grappling Hook snapping. This also plays when Baldi's ruler breaks during the broken ruler event.
WARNING: LOUD!
