Controls for Gang Beasts PS4 & PS5 – How to Throw

• Release the Triangle first, but don’t let the player hit the ground, before it happens, release R1 & L1 to throw him

With One Arm

1. (It’s not a step, but Don’t knock out the player you want to throw)
2. Grab Someone with one arm: Hold R1 OR L1 (Not both!!)
3. Lift the player up: Don’t stop holding R1 OR L1 (Not both!!), and start holding down the Triangle
4. Start walking in circles: Clockwise if you are holding them up with the left arm, but counter clockwise if you are holding them up with the right arm

Controls for Gang Beasts PS4 & PS5 – How to Climb

Climb

A normal climb can be used to scale a ledge and keep your flailing character in the action. This is done by pressing the following button combinations:

• PS4 & PS5 One: Hold R1 + L1 + X

Jumping Climb

If you need to scale a tall object or wall that the normal climb simply won’t get you up, you can always try the Jumping Climb instead. This involves jumping while your character is grabbing hold of a wall:

• PS4 & PS5 One: Hold R1 + L1 + Double-tap X

Getting your legs Up

When you reach the top, you’ll need to get their legs up and over the ledge so you can properly return to the action and avoid elimination:

• PS4 & PS5 One: Hold R1 + L1 + Hold Square + Circle
