Dumpster Gang how to pick up and throw objects starts with one key: press the interact key, E, to pick an object up. You can carry one at a time, throw it, smash it, or steal it and carry it out of the level.
Dumpster Gang how to pick up and throw objects
- Pick up with the interact key, E.
- Carry one thing at a time. There is no second slot and no hand-off.
- Throw, smash or steal what you are holding. Stolen goods are handed in at the burrow hole.
- Drop an object wherever you like and leave it lying there.
Anything that is not nailed down can be taken this way, which is what makes a mission worth raiding.
Throwing is how you fight John
An object thrown at John stuns him. That single rule is the combat system: there is no other attack, and it is also how the house mission's coffee objective gets solved, because you stun him, take the pot, and run. The coffee objective guide lays out that sequence step by step.
A carried chicken lets you glide
A chicken can be grabbed and carried, and a carried chicken lets the raccoon glide through the air for a short distance. It is a free way to cross the open farm map, and the chickens themselves are one of that mission's objectives — the farm mission guide covers the rest of that level.
You cannot cancel an interaction
There is no separate stop-action key in the demo. Once an interaction is running — a two-person door, entering the burrow — the prompt keeps telling you to press E and you cannot cancel it.
That is also why opening a cage can leave you stuck moving very slowly, since the rescue is an interaction like any other. The doors guide covers what that means when you are trying to get through a door that needs two raccoons.
