How to unlock the Grappling Hook in Dying Light 2
In Dying Light 2, you must progress to a particularmain story missionbefore you can unlock the Grappling Hook. Unexpectedly - and, I’m sure, disappointingly for some - this story mission is fairly late on in the game.
You unlock the Grappling Hook during the “Broadcast” story mission. It’s a Level 4 mission which involves scaling the top of the tallest tower in the city. The good news is that you cannot miss it: the game will literally direct you to the Grappling Hook’s location, and you’ll need it before you can progress. So all you need to do is keep playing until you reach this point, and you’ll gain access to the Grappling Hook.

How to upgrade the Grappling Hook
At first, the Grappling Hook can only swing at a fixed distance from objects, but you can talk to any Craftmaster in the city in order to upgrade the Grappling Hook’s capabilities. To upgrade the Grappling Hook so that it can pull you towards the ledge you’ve grappled onto, all you need to do is speak to a Craftmaster, switch to the “Upgrade” tab, and then select the Grappling Hook under Nightrunner Tools (incidentally you can use this same menu to upgrade other tools such as your all-importantParaglider). You’ll need to pay 2000Old WorldMoney and 2 Military Tech in order to upgrade the blueprint. If you’re not sure about the latter requirement, check out our guide onDying Light 2 Military Tech.
