Decoy Glove

The Decoy Glove was a gadget manufactured by Gadgetron (even though it was sold as a weapon) that created an inflatable copy of the user that fooled enemies into attacking the wrong target, offering time for strategy. The Decoy Glove become available to Gadgetron's product lines at the time Ratchet reached Pokitaru.

The Decoy Glove was a pretty expensive weapon compared to it's usefulness. Players often found it handy to throw down multiple decoys at a time when dealing with strong, dangerous enemies. If the player has the Persuader the product could be purchased for 5,000 Bolts.

This gadget was similar to the Doppelbanger found in All 4 One.

Gold Decoy Glove
This upgrade gave the decoy more durability and when destroyed created a larger green explosion. The decoy becomes a Ratchet silhouette with red eyes and a malicious smile.

Mega Decoy
This upgrade was available in Going Commando. It added more ammo to the Decoy Glove.

Glitches

 * A glitch in Ratchet & Clank and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando allowed Ratchet to be forced through walls with the Decoy Glove. To execute this glitch, simply walk to a wall, and deploy decoys as close to you as possible.


 * Another glitch was found in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. Throwing a decoy when on a different gravity direction due to Gravity Boots allowed decoys to be thrown onto walls or ceilings, to create a decoy standing on the wall.
 * The next glitch was found in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. When the player was battling Swamp Monster II, and if the player deploys a decoy on a lillypad platform and the Swamp monster destroys the lilypad, the decoy will float into the air and the swamp monster will try to destroy the decoy which will take long.That will give the player a enough time to attack the swamp monster or think of a plan.

Trivia
