The Doppelbanger was a weapon that created a decoy to draw enemy fire. Only Ratchet could use it. This weapon was similar to the Decoy Glove. Its Elite upgrade also had a turret of a slow-rate-of-fire attached to the Doppelbanger's hands.
Full Frontal Assualt
The Doppelbanger returned in Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault. This time, Ratchet, Clank, and Qwark were able to use this weapon. It already had the turrets at LVL1, saving the player's time and ammo. Once upgraded to LVL3, it became the Alpha Doppelbanger. It had a different color scheme and was more powerful. It was similar to the Gold Decoy Glove in that it would explode.
