The Static Hook is a Hardmode grappling hook sold by the Steampunker for 50 GC. It has two hooks which can be launched simultaneously, reaching up to 37.5 tiles (the longest reach of any hook).
When a hook latches onto a block, the player will be immediately suspended at their current location, unaffected by gravity, momentum, or knockback. If a second hook is fired while in this state, the player will stay attached to the first until the second hook attaches, and will not move or fall by any means. Players can use the movement keys to retract or extend the hook manually, up to its full range. Movement keys correspond with direction, so pressing ▲ Up while directly under the grappling hook will move the player upwards, whereas pressing ◀ Left or ▶ Right will not move the player at all in this case.
