No, you can pick it up with the 'use' key (usually 'e').

My default for pickup was "G"...same key to pick up kit.

Pressing "e" will put you on the zipline or grapling hook, you have to press g to pick it up.

if you want to get zip line and grappling hook easier just stay at uncap base climb up building with hook and jump off or zip line down , remember to pick them up..... yes cheesy way to get them but dont have the time to throw a rope during a fire fight

W00t? When I´m playing warlord I use the grappling hook up to 30 times in a round, during firefight.
It´s great to get into the palace from unexpected places...

and no, I don't believe that it's 10 uses in a round, just 10 global uses...

Nah it is 10 in a round as well with tactical support and zip line but for veteran and expert it is global.

I got all three of those badges in one round... start as assault, throw grapple, pick up, lather rinse repeat till you get the badge... you don't even have to climb it, just throw it... next comes the flashbangs, just go somewhere quiet (people get pissed if you throw them at them) and toss away (even easier if you have a supply crate or support guy handy)... once thats done respawn as spec ops and just shoot the zipline into a random wall... again, don't need to use it to get credit, just pick it up and do it again.... takes about 5 minutes or so total to get all three badges.

They were probably making them so high to take a look at the average usage of ziplines and stuff and then adjust the requirements based on the average usages.

OMG,

I've been trying to get both the zipline and grappling hook badges and didn't know you can pick them up!

I've been calling supplies and 95% of the time, I wouldn't get resupplied - strangely, I have been resupplied a Zipline once by a box, but not always!  I was just going to ask if it was a bug in the game that I wasn't getting resupplied all the time.

Thanks for the tip!

You do get resupplied all the time. It just takes a lot longer than regular ammunition.

Not sure if Support guys carry 'em around in their little baggies though.
