The GrabPack (also stylized as Grab Pack on the Grab Pack Training tape) is the main, and most invaluable utility in Poppy Playtime. It allows The Player to interact with the world by grabbing, pulling and collecting objects, open GrabPack-exclusive doors, connect wires to turn power back on, carry electrical impulses to and from power sources, and move The Player across areas.
The GrabPack also appears in the spin-off title Project Playtime, acting as a major utility required for solving the puzzles featured on the Puzzle Pillars.
An upgraded GrabPack, dubbed the GrabPack 2.0, replaces the GrabPack in Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep", with the ability to switch between a selection of hands, including new ones that were not previously available on the original GrabPack.
Appearance[]
The GrabPack appears to be made up of three parts: a backpack-like coil box with a retractable cable, and two hands attached to them, one blue and one red (green in Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web" and purple and orange in Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep"). The hands are activated using triggers that fire the cables. The cable is capable of conducting electricity, and is used to turn on power throughout the game. The blue hand is situated on the left and is the only hand available when first getting the GrabPack in Security.
Uses[]
Chapter 1: "A Tight Squeeze"[]
Our protagonist collects the GrabPack after watching the tutorial tape in Security. The protagonist continues to use their new-found hand to restore power to the factory by extending your GrabPack's wire to three power nodes Power Room. With the power restored, we clear the locked obstacle and continue to the Make-A-Friend Warehouse.
The red hand, however, must be collected from the Warehouse. Four randomly-generated Power Circuits must be found to restore power to the crane, which will move the glass cage containing the Red GrabPack hand towards The Player. After obtaining said hand, move into the Ventilation System, utilizing Both GrabPack hands in order to transfer power to the conveyors. When activating the power, the conveyors will turn on and the Make-A-Friend room will be accessed.
Use both hands to turn on the power in the Make-A-Friend room by going upstairs to the catwalks. Keep one of the hands stuck on the power receiver while also attempting to get into another non-functional power receiver. An alternate path must be made using slide-able platforms to minimize the amount of wire-length used.
After creating a Cat-Bee toy, opening the door, and encountering Huggy Wuggy, The Player will have to navigate through the vents. After successfully escaping the vents, the GrabPack must be used to pull down a box in order to break the pathway that connects from the vents to the other side. Finally, upon finding Poppy in the Poppy Room, use the GrabPack to open her case, finishing the chapter.
Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web"[]
After Mommy Long Legs takes the red hand from The Player, they create the green hand in the Molding Room and use its electricity transfer ability to open doors throughout the game. It is also used in Chapter 3.
Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep"[]
The GrabPack was redesigned in Chapter 3. The purple hand can be found in a backroom in the Gas Production Center. It can be accessed after using a battery to open the room it is contained in. The purple hand comes with a new GrabPack called the GrabPack 2.0. It has longer wires and the ability to switch between the green and purple hands (and also the orange hand later in the chapter).
The orange hand is the second hand found in Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep", and the first hand which can be used somewhat offensively. The orange hand can be found in the School, specifically after the Miss Delight chase scene, around a corner at the end of a hallway next to a Hoppy Hopscotch cutout.
At the end of the chapter, the green hand is destroyed during the final battle against CatNap after being launched at him with an overcharged source of electricity.
Project Playtime[]
The GrabPack that is found within Project: Playtime is a vital utility for the Survivors as they undertake to restore artifacts by solving puzzles seen throughout the now-decommissioned Playtime Co. factory. This tool can be used to reach specific areas, create obstacles, and gain an edge over monsters that roam the area.
Many cosmetics can also be purchased within the game, featuring entirely new versions of the GrabPack alongside cosmetic-based GrabPack hands. None of these purchasable hands give any advantages or new abilities.
A Sabotage a monster can equip known as No Pack creates a diversion for the survivors' by jamming their GrabPack's, having survivors either wait out the Sabotage or get assistance from another survivor in order to have a functional GrabPack again.
