Q.How does the grappling hook work in 'The Beast' for Dying Light?

More info
The grappling hook is awarded during the main quest “Some Like It Dark” in the Vale and goes straight into your tools—equip it to use it. Aim at a valid anchor (ledges, beams, tower braces or tree limbs) until the reticle snaps, then tap the grappling input for a quick reel or hold the button to swing and build momentum; it costs stamina and has practical range limits. Upgrades (via Manual Pages at workbenches) increase range and reel speed and unlock the ability to latch and pull enemies toward you for combat setups. For the unlock steps see PC Gamer’s walkthrough and a dedicated player guide. PC Gamer grappling hook guide Grappling Hook how-to and upgrades
Practical tips: - Equip the hook in a tool slot so it’s quickly available. - If the hook won’t fire, nudge your crosshair until the anchor prompt appears and then hold to commit. - Practice short repeated swings in the Vale (fewer tall anchors than city maps) and prioritize Range → Speed → Enemy Latch when upgrading to make traversal fluid and to enable combat pulls. For more on controls, upgrade costs and anchor types consult the linked guides above.
