    • These can be found in various areas of the game.

    • These objects can also no longer be thrown away, due to being too big for the trash.

    • Water Guns can be refilled over time via positioning the object under a source of water flow.

    • More pickup object interactions will be appearing in future updates; stay tuned!

  • Adjusted Toy Guns to now have dynamic mass, based on the ammo loaded into it.

    • Only a HUD indicator is still used for this scenario.
