The comet-strike or throw attack was a move that Ratchet could perform with the wrench. It involved crouching and throwing the wrench horizontally forward, making it spin and come back in Ratchet's hand. This move gave the Lombax a longer strike range, and allowed him to potentially hit multiple enemies more than once. Ratchet could also pick up distant bolts with this move. It was also useful for hitting explosive crates without being harmed without using ammunition.

Changes in Ratchet & Clank: Going CommandoEdit

The Comet-strike was given more flexibility, allowing Ratchet to walk away from the position he threw the wrench instead of being forced to stay in one place, allowing Ratchet to keep moving to avoid enemy attack.

Changes in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in TimeEdit

In Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Ratchet's moveset changed so he wouldn't need to crouch and was able to throw it even when airborne. He could do it while using Hoverboot's accelerator. It could now also be used as Wrench Grab to pick up Battery Bots and Zoni from a distance.

Ratchet & Clank: All 4 OneEdit

In Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Ratchet, Clank, Captain Qwark and Dr. Nefarious could all use a comet-strike attack with their weapons; Ratchet using his Wrench, Clank using his Heli-Pack rotor, Qwark using his Throwing Weapon, and Nefarious using his Annihilator Blades.
