- Practice precise aiming to reach desired spots safely.
Arc Raiders rely on Snaphook for rapid repositioning across maps, turning high ground into an advantage during raids. With this trick, you can equip gun while using the Snaphook as well. Here’s how to do so:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Primary Use | Grapple to higher locations |
| Aim Method | Hold right-click to target |
| Activate Pull | Left-click on lit-up point |
| Key Risk | Misaiming causes falls |
| Durability | Limited uses per item |
How to equip gun while using Snaphook
Switching to your gun happens right after the Snaphook connects, allowing shots while ascending.
Step 1: Launch Snaphook
Equip Snaphook from inventory.
Hold right-click to aim at a surface that lights up green, then left-click to fire and start the pull.
Step 2: Immediate weapon switch
As soon as the hook attaches and pull begins, press the weapon equip key (like 1 or 2, or triangle on controller) repeatedly—once or twice.
Step 3: Fire while airborne
Your gun draws instantly; start shooting enemies below or ahead without holstering the hook first.
Step 4: Advanced timing with movement
Roll or slide backward before launching for momentum (optional). Equip gun right after shooting the hook, before full pull speed.
| Reward Type | Possible Gains |
|---|---|
| Combat Edge | Shoot mid-air without landing |
| Mobility | Reposition and engage faster |
| Survival | Heal or throw grenades during pull |
| Utility | Reload or bandage en route |
Snaphook locations for practice
Test this technique around Dam Battlegrounds water towers or Buried City hospital roofs, where high ledges allow safe repeated pulls and gun swaps amid enemy patrols.
This tech shines in PvP loadouts, pairing with skills like dodge rolls for evasive shooting. Limit uses since Snaphook has durability—save for key fights.
