- The Batman Grapnel Gun comes with 10 charges. A charge is consumed each time the player is launched.
- When the grappling hook from the Batman Grapnel Gun impacts something in the environment, the owner will be launched in a flat arc towards the point of impact.

- Explosion damage:
- If the Explosive Batarang impacts the environment, it will stick to the spot where it lands. At that point, it behaves as a proximity mine, exploding when opponents come too close to it.

General[]
- Players with their reticle on stairs will no longer enter edit mode for an unintended building piece.
- In v10.30, we addressed an issue in which players would sometimes enter edit mode for a building piece that their reticle was not on. However, players may have still found themselves entering edit mode for a different building piece than intended if their reticle was on stairs. This has been resolved.
- Removed black borders on the iPad 2018 Pro.
