How to use web lines
The default control for using a web line is to hold L2 and then press Triangle while perched or crawling. Once you’ve fired off one of these lines, you can walk across them to help you move around undetected.
Web lines can be shot across long distances, so you don’t have to worry about them coming up short. Utilise this skill properly, and you’ll be able to position yourself above more enemies for Perch Takedowns that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
You can have up to 6 web lines active at any moment. Once you fire off a 7th, the oldest line will break automatically.
How to unlock web lines
Web lines are an excellent tool to have at your disposal but they won’t be available right away. Fortunately, adding web lines to your kit doesn’t require anything complicated. To unlock this skill, all you’ll need to do is go through the main story.
And don’t worry if you enjoy exploring the game’s map or going through some side content first. You won’t have to go too far into the main campaign to acquire web lines.
