The GrabPack (stylized as Grab Pack on the Grab Pack Training tape) is an invaluable utility in Poppy Playtime. It allows The Player to grab, pull and collect 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 then makes its invaluable appearance in the spin-off title Project: Playtime, acting as a major utility required for solving the puzzles featured on the Puzzle Pillars.
Appearance
The GrabPack appears to be made up of three parts: a backpack-like structure with a retractable cable, and two firing parts with hands attached to them, one blue and one red, (Green in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web) and have triggers. The cable is capable of conducting electricity, an important ability in the game that is used to turn on power and move on through 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 Warehouse.
The Red Hand, however, must be collected from the Make-A-Friend Warehouse. You must find four randomly-generated Power Circuits and restore power to the crane, which will continue to reach the glass cage containing the Red GrabPack hand. After obtaining said hand, you must now move to the Ventilation System, utilizing BOTH GrabPack hands in order to transfer power to the conveyors you walk on. When activating the power, the conveyors will turn on and you will have access to the Make-A-Friend room.
You again use both hands to turn on the power in the Make-A-Friend room by going upstairs to the catwalks. You must keep one of your hands stuck on the power receiver while also attempting to get into another non-functional power receiver. You also have to make an alternate path using slide-able platforms to minimize the amount of wire-length you use.
After creating your Cat-Bee toy, opening the door, and encountering Huggy Wuggy, you'll have to navigate through the vents. After moving through the vents without getting caught by Huggy, you must finally use your GrabPack to pull down a box in order to break the pathway that connects from the vents to the other side.
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 absorption ability to open a vent door leading to Musical Memory.
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 a paid advantage.
A Sabotage 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.
