Default Simple Question ABout Crossbow and Grappling Hook

Umm...yeah...very stupid question.

Okay, what do you do after you launch the grappling hook or the crossbow? Like, for example. I've shot the crossbow out. Now how do I travel on the wire thing?

Yeah, the help thing told me how to do it, but I forgot, and now it doesn't come up. T_T

Also o let you know, you can retrieve the grapple/zip line by pressing "g." Helps when an enemy tries to use your line to chase you.

You can get on the zipline from any position as long as you are near the wire, although it's usually good to start at the very top near the tripod. Same goes for the grappling hook.

Press 'e' while in close proximity to the line. It doesn't matter which part of the line. If another player fires zip line close to you, you can jump on and ride it.

I believe if you want to exit the line prematurely, you can use "jump".

Once your land at the other side, you can retrieve the line with the 'g' key.

If you don't get your zip line or grappel fast enough it will dissapear. You can get another one from an ammo bag or a supply crate.

Press E near the front of the zipline to get on, press G at the bottom of it to retrive, simple.
