Braced autogun shove and bolter shove fail to push poxbusters

[Tamren]

Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

Braced autoguns and bolters have a shove attack bound to the special weapon key. This lets you push enemies out of your way without having to switch to a melee weapon first. This attack can also be used to shove poxbursters away before they explode, but not reliably. Sometimes the push fails and the poxburster explodes in my face.

This stands out as a bug to me because pushing poxbursters with a melee weapon is essentially the same thing, but vastly more reliable.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Use a braced autogun or bolter to push poxbursters. Eventually your push will fail, my success rate at this is roughly 80%.

This bug may also affect laspistols and revolvers because those also have push mechanics, but I didn’t test those. I can only confirm the above two.

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Unusual (<25%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

I don’t have this issue, but I’ve noticed that a boltgun/braced autogun/revovler special is not the same as a melee weapon push because it doesn’t have cleave so you can push only 1 target. On the other hand, a laspistol special works like a melee weapon push.

Yeah I knew about the single target thing, I don’t think that is related to the bug because when I fail to push poxbursters it’s always the single poxburster and nothing else in the area. I have yet to fail a push in the middle of a fight with other enemies around.
