Grappling hooks have always been a fascinating tool in video games, and a horror game like Dying Light 2 seems like a perfect setting for it. A recent video released on Reddit shows some truly jaw-dropping combat where a Dying Light 2 player uses the grappling hook in a rather innovative fashion.
Dying Light 2 is one of the biggest releases of the year until now, and it comes with lots of downloadable content. Techland recently released a free Ronin Pack DLC that will give the game a Japanese Ronin look and feel. Besides the DLC, fans' creativity is breaking barriers as they find new and innovative ways to enjoy the game. A particular Reddit user is one of them who deserves the credit for revealing some sensational grappling hook tricks.
Grappling hooks have been used in video games for a while now, but the way this particular Dying Light 2 fan uses it during combat is something truly astonishing. Some would call it a brilliant amalgamation of intense fighting and parkour. This video points out how grappling hooks can be a valuable and innovative tool to survive in Dying Light 2. Other items like armor pieces also play a critical role in survival, particularly in the game's early stages.
In the video, the Reddit user utilizes the grappling hook to jump around the zombie while moving a nearby gas cylinder using the same hook. He elegantly combines the bow and arrow and the grappling hook to confuse the zombie while showing off his tricks. Ultimately, he finishes off the zombie by causing an explosion by blowing up the gas cylinder. The use of grappling hooks in combat is one of the many ways fans are refining the overall Dying Light 2 gaming experience. Mods are the other, and Dying Light 2 has seen some great mods despite less than a month of the official release. One famous mod adds a new Hardcore Mode which makes the game more challenging by adding more zombies and making them tougher.
Both fans and critics have praised how the parkour gameplay integrates with the immersive open-world in Dying Light 2. Innovative use of grappling hooks in combat and game-enhancing mods are two ways that improve the parkour mechanics of the game. Another previously released Dying Light 2 mod can improve draw distance and in-game physics, among other elements.
Besides the positive response to game's parkour, open world, and creative combat techniques, Dying Light 2 has also received a fair share of criticism. A large chunk of the gaming community, including fans and critics, are unsatisfied with the story, dialogue, and writing.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human is available now on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, and a Switch version is also in development.
