Shove Gameplay Item

The Shove gameplay item grants a player the unique ability to push another player a short distance. Because the shoving action is done with bare hands, there is no external indication of whether or not a player has the Shove item equipped–adding an element of suspense to gameplay.

You can use this item in many ways to create interesting gameplay options:

• Players can use this to push players on other teams off of high places, causing fall damage.

• Players can push a team member or other ally out of the way of a hazard, vehicle, or attack.

• Players could use this to engage a special power or ability (such as telekinesis).

Making this item available to your players can help you create situations where one player won't know if the other players in the game will use the ability to help, or to harm.
