| − | A common tool used by field agents with [[Enhanced Prosthetic]]s, '''Grappler''' enhancements were a type of low-tech alternative to [[Enhanced Prosthetic (Electromagnet)|electromagnetic enhancements]]. Concealed within the prosthetic limb was a high-pressure launcher capable of firing a thin but sturdy weighted line. The line could not only be used to climb, but also ensnare a target or reel in an object up to 50 kilograms in weight towards the agent, regardless of the agent's actual strength.<ref name=AGCO>''A Guide to Covert Ops'', p. 111</ref>

| − | As with other prosthetic enhancements, these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the [[Inner Sphere]] with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic limb. The [[Clans]] were too philosophically opposed and the [[Periphery]] too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.<ref>''A Guide to Covert Ops'', p. 109</ref> Among the [[Manei Domini]], this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb, but could be used to reel in a target up to 150kg in weight.<ref name=JHS>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 124-125, 130</ref>
