Capcom teased new features for its upcoming space shooter, Lost Planet 3, today, showing off a brand new cover system and weapons.

The developers showed off The Winch, which is a new tool for the Rig that allows players to perform hookshots. In a demo shown at GDC Europe, The Winch was used to kill smaller enemies and players could attach it to the environment to use as a zipline.

The demo showed the player using the new weapon on a brand new boss, the Spitter, which is a giant scorpion that shoots debilitating poison from its tail.

Polygon will have a preview of Lost Planet 3 later this week.
