how to use artificer's explosive jump and grapple worm at the same time?

[angeredshibe]

cant figure out how to, i wanna use both at the same time but when i equip a grapple worm the explosive jump seems to be disabled cause they use the same keys

You don't, she doesn't need one.

took me a minute to realise they have changed the Grappling Worm mechanic - you cannot throw it away as you were able previously - only to bite it, then waste some more time while the UI resets its state(*), and then finally eat the worm - this is the only way to get rid of it when you don't need it anymore

(*) typical WAITING-FOR-WAITING design mistake; you don't make the player wait in order to start the mechanic which is already a DELAY mechanic... you do not CASCADE delays in video games; it is the second most frustrating thing you can possibly do; and you never create UI controls which require a delay before beginning the delay itself (such as widely known hold-to-confirm buttons, popular nowadays to make it seem like devs care for something)

Or you could just put it down.

good luck with that if there are other objects on the floor, and good luck trying to eat a corpse, too, while being in a stressful and time-critical situation of evading predators

If I'm playing Artificer or Hunter, I kill everything else first, then worry about food. Works wonders.

I’m certain I couldn’t throw grappling worms before downpour came out either, regardless of if the worm was dead or alive, just like with vulture masks. Is it possible that was a modded feature you were using to do so?

grapple worms and vulture masks were already non throwable in 1.5

Clean the grease and dust out of your controller and/or keyboard. If you hold down and press grab you can still drop them like you used to.
