To grab or climb in Fall Guys, press R2 on PS4, or Shift on PC (RT if using an Xbox Controller). You can grab other players by pressing R2, but they can escape after a short delay by mashing buttons like jump. Most levels which require you to grab will ask you to collect eggs or balls and score them in your team’s zone. In this case, hold the grab button as long as you want to hold the item.
Some race levels will require you to climb a ledge. In this case, jump and then hold down R2/Shift as your figure attempts to climb the platform. You may be knocked off if near several other players also trying to jump and climb up the ledge, but eventually you’ll make it up. We recommend finding an empty space to make your climb to avoid being sent tumbling time after time.
