After ejection, hold Space while in contact with an eligible object to grab it. Release Space to let go when throwing it. Grabbing is limited to objects with collision type one or four.

02

Throwing objects and reconnecting to vehicles

How do I hold and throw a loose object?
Ejection lets you throw objects. Once you are in contact with an eligible loose object, hold Space to keep hold of it, then release Space when throwing.
Can grabbing let me use my original vehicle again?
Segway Guy, Effective Shopper, Pogostick Man and Moped Guy can grab their default vehicles to reattach and use them again. For these characters, grabbing the vehicle can restore vehicle use as well as attach the character to it. Grabbing can restore control without returning the rider to the original riding position: you may end up hanging from the vehicle by the arms. This can be difficult to do.
Can I attach to a custom vehicle?
All characters can use grabbing to attach to custom vehicles made with the vehicle tool. Ejection allows you to leave your default vehicle and move to one of these custom vehicles.
Which objects can the grab control hold?
Space grabs objects with collision type one or four. That eligibility limit still applies when you are trying to grab after ejection.
