Lara can use this device to climb and maneuver throughout the game. In addition Lara can use the grapple as a weapon by throwing it around an enemy's waist and dragging them into danger, such as a pit, or she can drag them into range for a close range attack.
Lara can use the grapple in four modes - jump, swing, combat and grapple items.
Jump Grapple
Grapple can also be used in jumps. Tapping the jump button twice will make Lara to hook on a metallic object above her to swing on. Disabled during combat.
Swing Grapple
Lara can use the Grapple to wall run over large pits or caverns. Lara will hook on to a object and wall run to the other side of the cavern.
Combat Mode
Combat mode is to hook Lara's opponent, pull them closer and stun them for Lara's attack. A slight portion of the health will also be taken away from the target. Useful to pull snipers out of their nests. Lara must be in combat mode and lock on a target to use this. It does not work on animals.

Tomb Raider Anniversary
In Anniversary, the grapple is not magnetic and is actually more like a hook; it can be used to grapple onto rings mostly.
Tomb Raider Underworld
Unlike in the previous games, in Tomb Raider Underworld you can also attach the grapple while standing on firm ground. In Croft Manor for example it is better to jump and throw it while you are in the air, because otherwise you might burn your feet.
This state-of-the-art multi purpose Grapple Gun is used by Lara in Tomb Raider Underworld. It has a high-tension swing line with a tensile strength in excess of 1000 kg., this high grade, stainless steel grappling hook can be fired quickly and accurately with a lightning fast, auto-retract safety. Unlike the Tomb Raider: Legend grapple the grapple gun utilises a grapple hook rather than an electro magnetic pad. The cable is able to twist and contort to its surrounding such as in certain situations Lara must wrap the cable around certain objects to continue her path or activate a mechanism.
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Lara's grapple in GoL is similar to that in Legend and Underworld. It can be attached to metal rings in the levels and than can swing along walls or climb up or down. Additionally it can be attached to Totec. He can change his position, too, while holding the grapple; this way they are together able to reach places Lara alone can not.
Instead of a grapple Totec has a shield.
