Controls for Gang Beasts Xbox – How to Throw

With Both Arms

  • Grab Someone with both arms: RB & LB
  • Lift the player up: Don’t stop holding RB & LB, and start holding down the Y
  • Release the Y first, but don’t let the player hit the ground, before it happens, release RB & LB 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 RB OR LB (Not both!!)
  3. Lift the player up: Don’t stop holding RB OR LB (Not both!!), and start holding down the Y
  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
  5. Throw them: Release RB OR LB (the one you chose)

Controls for Gang Beasts Xbox – 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

  • Xbox One: Hold RB + LB + A

Jumping Climb

f 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

  • Xbox One: Hold RB + LB + Double-tap A

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

  • Xbox One: Hold RB + LB + Hold X + B
