How to carry boxes in hands and throw at people?

On Keyboard and can only put items on my back. And have to deal with Mules with "Basic CQC".

Also i gonna need this to fight final boss. I watched walkthrough on release.
So better to know that trick now.

You hold down the lmb to hold things with your left hand or hold down rmb to hold things with your right hand. Then you press V to throw whatever cargo you're holding.

In settings you can set it so that you can just click the mouse buttons once to hold cargo or by default, you can hold the buttons.

I prefer holding the button because it makes me feel a modicum of the struggle Sam is feeling.

Adding onto this, V to swing (it empowers melee which is cool) and while swinging you release the cargo held in the arm you're swinging

It's mentioned a couple of times in the game, but Sam is right-handed and will throw items further while using that hand than he would if throwing with his left.

If the target (Mule or otherwise) is nearby, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. But if there's some distance between you and the foe, releasing the item held in Sam's right hand while that arm is is swinging will make it more likely that the projectile reaches your target. :-)

V is only working to swing the cargo for me. Do I have to press (or depress) left or right mouse button while swinging to throw?
