Pressing the reload key will make the grabber drop things.  Alas, easier
said than done since you still have to be holding the fire key (which goes
against habit).  For grabbing health packs, ammo, etc. the grabber works
like HL2's gravity gun.  Simply grabbing it is enough to "use" the item.

I'm still trying to figure out how useful the grabber is against
revenants.  It seems to merely deflect the missles (which is somewhat
useful in a pinch I suppose).  It would be nice to grab and throw the
missles back.

Also, grenades seem to do more damage than before.  Maybe I'm just getting
lucky with 'em.  Unfortunately, my big strong-armed marine still can't
throw a grenade more than a few feet.
