Grab (Doom 2016)


 * For the speedrunning term in the original Doom, see Grab.

In Doom (2016) speedrunning, a grab, also referred to as an extendo-grab or Finglonger, is a technique used to interact with objects from further than intended. A grab can only occur with objects that the player has a direct line of sight with, and is performed by inputting a weapon zoom, most commonly with the pistol, at the same frame as inputting the 'use' command.

A grab is most frequently used to collect weapons from out of bounds, most notably the Heavy Assault Rifle in Resource Operations, or to force the player to interact with (and warp to) buttons that they would not be able to reach otherwise, such as in Kadingir Sanctum.
