Acquiring the grappling hook in Dying Light: The Beast is not a swift endeavor, yet its significance, especially as a beloved tool in Dying Light: Stay Human, makes it a coveted addition to Kyle Crane’s arsenal. While the absence of towering skyscrapers may diminish its utility, the grappling hook still serves a purpose. Players can use it to propel themselves toward walls and trees, and even swing from it once secured to a surface. Moreover, with the potential for upgrades, its effectiveness can be enhanced, allowing it to latch onto enemies, draw them closer, and send them tumbling to the ground.
To unlock this essential item, players must progress through the narrative until they reach a pivotal quest titled “Some Like It Dark.” This quest unfolds in The Vale region, located northeast of Old Town, and marks a challenging segment of the game. By the time players embark on this quest, they should ideally have reached at least level 6.
How to get the grappling hook in Dying Light: The Beast
During the “Some Like It Dark” quest, players are tasked with assisting a stranger trapped by The Baron’s soldiers in the valley. After overcoming this adversary, the stranger, Sven, will request help in locating his missing comrades. Following a series of confrontations with additional soldiers, players will rendezvous with Sven at a new hideout in The Vale. Engaging in conversation with him will unveil a new set of quests that involve scaling several radio towers scattered throughout the valley.
As a reward for your efforts, Sven will present you with the grappling hook. There’s no need for crafting; simply equip it in a tool slot, and you can immediately put it to use once you step outside the hideout.
