The Grappler^[1] drone, also known as the Hammerhead drone, is the locust shock trooper who are used in boarding actions during the Assault on Landown and the Siege of Jacinto. They are just like normal Drones with the exception that they have on a unique helmet and grappling hook. This helmet may be used to help the Hammerhead adjust to the rapid change of light from their home in the Hollow to the surface, as they are only seen whenever they come out of openings.

[edit] Fighting a Grappler

Fighting one is just like fighting a drone, meaning that they are very easy to kill and are not a very high priority target. One round from the Longshot will kill if it were a headshot, two if shot in the body. Of course, the Chainsaw Bayonet is an instant kill weapon.

[edit] Trivia

• Based on the picture above, which is a pre-release screenshot from Gears of War 2, the Grappler was going to be a usable multiplayer character but is not available in the retail version.
