+- Ammo: Fuel
+- Impulse: 9/246
Port-O-Launch
-------------
+ 
-- Impulse: 14/240
-- Ammo:
+Port-O-Launch creates one-way portals that teleport players. Primary and secondary fire launch “portal balls” that will create portals when they hit a flat surface. Portal balls will be repelled by some surfaces.
+You need two portals for this to work: An in-portal (red) and an out-portal (blue). When you have created both portals, any player that enters the in-portal gets teleported to the out-portal. The out-portal will not teleport players back.
- 
+Portals stay open only for a limited amount of time (default 15 seconds). Both portals also close when the player that created the portals has died.
+
+- Primary fire: Fire the portal entrance (red).
+- Secondary fire: Fire the portal exit (blue).
+- Ammo: None
+- Impulse: 14/240
Grappling Hook
--------------
+ 
-- Impulse: 14/242
-- Ammo: Cells
+NOTE: The grappling hook is usually added via the [Grappling Hook mutator](Grappling Hook), which gives it to players off-hand. But the grappling hook can also be used as selectable “weapon”. This section describes how the grappling hook works by default (i.e. without the mutator).
+The grappling hook fires a chain that will travel a long distance until it hits a solid surface. Once latched onto something, it will immediately swing you there. The hook adds an extra challenge to fighting matches, and it also makes both surprise ambushes and miraculous escapes possible. Additionally, areas with powerups or weapons that were previously unreachable are now up for grabs.
- 
+The grappling hook needs fuel to work (unless the [Grappling Hook mutator](Grappling Hook) is active).
+
+- Primary fire: Fires the hook, latches onto a surface, pulls the player there, and then detaches. Press and hold the <FIRE> button to keep the hook attached for longer, but this depletes fuel quickly.
+- Secondary fire: Drops a gravity bomb that affects enemy players and also releases light and smoke (similar to a flashbang). Not possible if the [Grappling Hook mutator](Grappling Hook) is active.
+- Ammo: Fuel (or nothing when [Grappling Hook mutator](Grappling Hook) is active)
+- Impulse: 14/242
+
+The “hook” key (default: E) works as a shortcut for primary fire. In this case, this key selects the grappling hook and fires it.
+
+Ball Stealer
+------------
+ 
+
+The Ball Stealer is a special tool used in [Nexball](Nexball) games. It is used to carry the ball and steal it from others. When you collect the ball, you will automatically equip the Ball Stealer and are unable to equip anything else.
+
+The Ball Stealer currently looks identical to the Port-O-Launch.
+
+- Primary fire: Throw ball. Hold pressed to throw stronger.
+- Secondary fire: Try to steal ball from opponent
+- Ammo: None
+- Impulse: ???
