In Dying Light 2 the Grappling Hook is unlocked automatically from the 16th Main Story Quest “Broadcast”. You will come to a point in the mission where you get the objective “Find the Nightrunner Equipment”. Upon completing this mandatory story objective you unlock the Grappling Hook. This cannot be missed, it’s necessary to advance the Main Story and you will always get it at this point no matter what choices you made in the game.
It is quite late into the story so you must play through most of the main quests first (about 10 hours into the story if you focus on just story and nothing else).
To use the Grappling Hook:
- PlayStation: Hold LEFT to open equipment wheel > press L2 to assign it to quick slot > during a jump press L2 to throw grappling hook at a surface and use it as a rope to swing.
- Xbox: Hold LEFT to open equipment wheel > press LT to assign it to quick slot > during a jump press LT to throw grappling hook at a surface and use it as a rope to swing.

With the grapple hook you can climb almost any building by hooking to the wall, jumping and hooking again. Repeat this process to climb almost any building In the game.

and which buttons do you use to do so on a ps4 controller. i’m stuck in the mission broadcast because i cannot figure out how to swing from one yellow light to the next.
