Move - Traversal

Move

While running you can automatically climb over obstacles, jump between structures, and launch into a glide. When crouched, movement is quick and silent, making this a very useful tactic when employing stealth.

• L stick + X (Hold) to run/climb/glide
• Hold R2 to crouch

Use Evade to dodge incoming melee attacks and minimize damage while escaping from gunfire. You can also evade through glass or over railings.

• Tilt left stick then press X, X

Line Launcher Tightrope

Instantly deploy the Line Launcher zip line as a tightrope. This can be used to create new positions to observe and attack enemies, or even collect certain Riddler trophies.

Take note that for the Line Launcher to deploy, there should be two solid surfaces on both sides it should attach on.

Grapnel

This is an essential part of your navigation equipment. Look at any ledge and the Grapnel will lock on to the nearest ledge within its range. When traversing large structures, you can chain grapple moves. While running or gliding, the Grapnel will target the nearest valid ledge, allowing you to use this move at any given time.
