About
Wrench Throw
Throw the OmniWrench as in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, in OpenRAC's PC port of Ratchet & Clank.
| With the wrench in hand | |
|---|---|
| Hold R2 | Ratchet raises the wrench, ready to throw |
| R2 + Square | Throws it where he faces, standing, running or jumping. He keeps moving |
| Square alone | The normal combo |
Good to know
- R2 no longer crouches while you hold the wrench. R1 still does, so the high jump and the crouching swing are still there.
- With a weapon in hand, switch to the wrench first.
- With Lock-strafe, set its Strafe button to L2 only: L2 strafes and R2 stays for the wrench.
- Tested on the PAL disc. NTSC-U is not tested yet: please report how it goes.
How it works
The throw is the game's own: the function it uses from the first-person view, so damage and the wrench's return are unchanged. The arm is posed with joint offsets on top of whichever animation is playing. No game files are included.
