Abilities:

Confirmed in this video:

Given booze with his back to a breakable barrier the Giant will spin around and destroy the barrier

Given sweets in a crowd of zombies the Giant will follow you around and protect you by killing zombies for a period of time

Given sweets near a workbench the Giant will go gather parts and return to instantly build a buildable item eg the turbine, subsurface resonator, headchopper or tramplesteam

Given sweets near a drop the Giant will change the drop into something else eg turn a carpenter into a nuke

Given sweets while a weapon is available for collection at the Mystery box the Giant will re roll the box for you to get a different weapon

Given sweets near a vacant Mystery Box location the Giant will go get the Mystery Box from elsewhere in the map and bring it to the location near the player

Given sweets near a crawler the Giant will pick up the crawler and carry it around with him, rendering it harmless to the player

Confirmed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D6AcMHMdPs

Given sweets near a placed Subsonic Resonator the Giant will go fetch a Turbine (provided it has been built) and place it next to the Resonator to power it

Confirmed this myself but did not record: Given sweets near the Mystery Box the Giant will smash the Mystery Box and it will stay in that location

Great video, this should be a sticky and added to if needed.

Would you mind writing a list of abilities in text format?

Please add text and a mobile link to the video.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have updated with text list and link. I'm actually a big fan of text explanations myself.

Only if the wiki info is verified/abolished.

Sure. I will remove additional wiki info and test later today when I get home from work to update once verified. I know for a fact some of the things mentioned on the wiki re the Giant aren't correct so your point is valid.

The last one if my favorite, I saw on youtube last night that he was carrying a crawler while it hit him, his laugh was hilarious.

It seems with each map we're slowly getting what we were wanting.

I'm sure you can get free perks by giving him candy next to the perk machines & then proceeding to buy the perk as you normally would.

Anyone want to try this. I'm at work ATM.

I have updated with a couple of more abilities I have confirmed during gameplay

HOLY CRAP HE CAN MOVE THE BOX?! Can't believe I never thought of trying him near the box. Sticky this thread. Kodos SlipperyJim!

Adding a new ability! Give him sweets by a chalk drawing and he'll put it at a random question mark.

What about giving him candy by a Question Mark?
