Grabbing is one of the main abilities in Fall Guys that allows players to hold and move objects and other players. It was first introduced in Season 1 (Legacy).
Ability Description
To perform a grab, players must hold the assigned trigger that corresponds to the grab command.
Grabbing will put the players hands in front of them and make them walk slower. While grabbing, players can pick up most small objects and push/drag Push Boxes. Players will also be able to grab most ledges to reach higher places or prevent a fall.
If a player grabs another player, the player that is grabbing will start pushing the grabbed player. This player cannot jump or dive while being grabbed, and can easily be pushed off ledges if not careful. If they grab back, then a hug will commence until one lets go. If the grabbing player continues to hold for about two seconds, the player that is grabbing will be shrugged off and be unable to jump or grab that player for a few seconds. The other player will drop any object they were carrying.
If a player is grabbed in the air, they will lose momentum and drop objects as well.

Notes
- Grabbing is required for the Fall Bae Achievement.
- A glitch exists where players can be flung quite a far distance with carriable objects. A player must press and immediately release the grab button while near an object, and then jump and dive over it. The object will then attempt to move to the player's hands, causing both to fly a far distance.
- The effectiveness of this glitch increases with latency. Therefore, it cannot be performed in the Level Editor.
- Due to their low masses, this is not recommended with Blast Balls or Basketballs.
