Our next mission in Metropolis is to learn to use the Swingshot. Mastering the swingshot successfully, will allow Ratchet to finish the fitness course.

The key to the swingshot is to first have it available in your quick select menu. Once there, you can call upon this tool at any time to jump big gaps. Whenever you come across a single spinning versa-target nearby, you know that you can use your swingshot to jump over a long valley or get to high and hidden places. Once you press the [O] button, to activate the swingshot harpoon, you must keep holding down the [O] button until you are safely across the gap.

Single versa-targets are for point to point swing launchs. Ratchet will land directly underneath a single versa target. Double versa-targets with the joint electric beams, are used for multi-stage "tarzan" swings. During certain missions in the game, Ratchet will come across several double versa-targets in sequence, where you activate the swingshot, swing past the target, disengage, re-point and activate to the next target, all in mid-air. Kinda like Trazan swinging through the forest from vine to vine.

Use the swingshot to get to both platforms, then use the slide cable to get back to the first platform area at the start of the fitness course. The fitness course mission is now complete. The Captain Qwark robot is now asleep and doesn't repsond. Time to explore the city. Use the [select] button to see your mission progress.
