Chain Launcher
The Chain Launcher is a deployable item in PEAK found in Regular and Big Luggages past the Shore and Explorer's Luggages anywhere. Using the chain launcher while grounded allows the player to deploy a chain connecting their current location with a wall up to 80 meters away, consuming the chain launcher. You cannot use a chain launcher if you are looking too far up or down.
Cooking a Chain Launcher immediately incinerates it, making it unusable.
Physics
Unlike the 
Rope Cannon, the Chain Launcher deploys its chain instantaneously, fixed on both ends by hooks embedded into the surface at the firing Scout's position and the target surface. However, the slack of the chain is indeterminate. There is the possibility that the chain will spawn sagging too low to the ground, which can pose a problem on certain biomes such as Tropics and Caldera, where the way across may potentially be obstructed by hazards.
Patch history
1.0 (2025-06-16): Introduced.
1.7 (2025-07-10):
- Potentially fixed an issue where Chain Shooters would spawn with nothing in the chamber.
- Chain Launchers now cannot be shot above or below a certain angle past the horizon line. This is to remove unintended use cases where a chain launcher shot directly upwards would get you much further than other items – it’s intended to be used for lateral traversal!
1.8 (2025-07-21): Fixed an issue where the chain launcher would sometimes spawn as a broken version that didn't launch a chain when used.
