- Two hands grab
Long weapons such as the machinegun, shotgun, sniper rifle or the spear must be grabbed using both hands. Some weapons like the machinegun will lose accuracy if used one handed, and others like the spear will not extend their energy blades.
- Weapon discard
Just launch the weapon and it will explode on it's own after a few seconds and will come back to your body. Grenades will come back to your body on launch only if they were not activated pressing the index trigger.
- Sword and knife grab to grip
When your hand thumb points down, you will grab the edge weapon with standard grip. If your hand thumb points up, you will grab the weapons with an inversed grip.

You can launch and regrab your weapons before they autodestructs. This is useful to perform a fast blade grip change, change a revolver from one hand to the other... or just to feel cool.
