We’re about to show you how to fix yet another in-game issue that drives gamers insane. Sometimes, without any apparent explanation, you simply can’t use Aloy’s grapple feature.
Gorilla Games has not released a fix patch for this issue as of this moment, so we’re going to explore a workaround that did the trick for others in the same situation.
What can I do if I can’t grapple in Horizon Forbidden West?
The Pullcaster is a legendary special gear in Horizon Forbidden West that you can use as a grappling hook, primarily used to reach unreachable areas and scale tall structures.
It is arguably one of the most valuable tools in the game that comes in handy during intense combat situations or even while exploring Horizon Forbidden West’s scenic open world.
There are special points within the game where players can deploy the Pullcaster and grapple away towards their objectives.
These points can be seen when you are scanning your surroundings. The game’s UI will let you know when you are hovering above one.
However, if you find yourself unable to do so, here are the steps you can take to restore game functionality and keep on playing.
1. Restart game from last save.
2. Restart Horizon Forbidden West completely.
3. Update Horizon Forbidden West
These are the workarounds that have proven to work for other Horizon FOrbidden West players that had to deal with the same in-game glitch.
