Pushy is a unique version of the displacer glove. Instead of the usual silver plating, the forearm unit and knuckle plate emitter are dark gray. As with the regular displacer glove, Pushy causes a knockback effect on a successful hit, with a visual effect similar to that of a Gauss rifle.
It is the second most powerful Unarmed weapon in the game, after the ballistic fist. However, Pushy has a higher DPS, higher hit points and a lower Strength requirement.
Found on the body of a dead Jackal gang member in Ruby Hill mine. She is lying near the dry tunnel entrance in the underground lake area.
Behind the scenes[]
Despite knocking the target back upon a successful hit and visible small energy cells inset, the weapon does not drain any from the player's inventory. This is the result of an engine limitation: melee and unarmed weapons cannot be assigned an ammo type, nor set to drain them. Obsidian encountered problems attempting to implement this feature and ultimately the weapons have an invisible, infinite ammo supply.[1]

I intended for several of the Unarmed weapons to use ammo, but we encountered some problems with implementing it. I would have liked to continue with it because I think ammo use/reloading could have helped distinguish those weapons in more interesting ways."
