Learn how to get the grappling hook in Dying Light 2 and enhance your gameplay experience with this essential tool. Follow these steps to craft your own grappling hook and start zipping around the city!One of the biggest surprises in the original Dying Light was the grappling hook, and it thankfully returns in Dying Light 2 , albeit much later in this game than in the previous one.

While the original game gave you the grappling hook fairly early in the story, Dying Light 2 is a bit more secretive about it, only giving you access to it in the final stretch of the campaign. This is when you get it.

How to Get the Grappling Hook in Dying Light 2.

The grappling hook appears in the middle of the mission “Broadcast,” which is one of the last missions in the game. That means you’ll need to play at least 15 hours of the game first. Broadcast is also the longest mission in the game, and it tasks you with exploring an abandoned radio tower.

While the grappling hook has been featured in many pre-release gameplay presentations for Dying Light 2, it’s not actually something you can acquire until sometime in the game, towards the later stages of its main story.

Once you’ve reached the game’s central loop region, which is the larger of the two sandbox maps, you’ll begin working with the Peacekeepers, who will eventually communicate their plans to power the radio tower atop the sandbox city’s talent creation – the VNC Tower – and bring it online.

It is during your ascent of the VNC Tower that you begin to communicate with Frank, a former leader of the Nightrunners. He will (reluctantly) direct you to an older Nightrunner team to help you with your mission in the tower, which includes the grappling hook.

The grappling hook works in a similar way to the first Dying Light , a mechanic that expands the possibilities of parkour by allowing you to climb faster across ledges or swing at specific points in Villedor’s architecture. In the Relay mission, for example, you’ll use it for quite a while as a tutorial to climb the massive radio tower – you’ll be able to use it as many times as you like afterwards, as a tool that will make it easier to escape in tight spots with enemies, as well as speed up your exploration of the world. In any case, you can upgrade the grappling hook to make its grappling speed even faster.
