How to unlock push in Shrimp Game

Shoving other players requires pushing the Push action in Shrimp Game’s store. You can access this shop using the store icon on the left side of your screen or the shop terminal in the main lobby between rounds. It costs ₩375,000 in-game cash, so you won’t have to worry about stockpiling Robux to unlock this feature.

There is one downside, though: it’s a one-time use feature. Once you successfully push and eliminate someone, you’ll have to unlock it again through the shop. Fortunately, obtaining enough money for this is easy if you can make it through a few Shrimp Game rounds. Each minigame gives you over 100,000 in-game cash, a💯llowing you to easily get one Push per round or two.

How to push other players in Shrimp Game

After purchasing Push in the in-game shop, you can use it during the Red Light Green Light minigame. It’ll appear in your toolbar during this round, letting you equip and activate it using your punch button. If you buy it before the game starts or during other rounds, you won’t see it in your toolbar until Red Light Green Light begins again.

Since Red Light Green Light’s purpose is to eliminate anyone who moves during the red light sections, your goal is to shove anyone near you once the doll turns around. This’ll cause them to “move,” instantly knocking them out and bringing you one step closer to being the last person standing later.

Despite the push action’s one-time use limitation, it’s still a great way to quickly take out other players early in the round before your next set of minigames. You can either use this to shove and eliminate someone you believe is a threat or mess around and pick someone randomly. However, be careful not to run around during the red light phase just to push someone, as this can lead to you being eliminated instead.

You’ll also need to watch for other players attempting to shove you during Red Light Green Light. Since Push is so easy to unlock, many people will have it throughout your matches, including those who are standing right behind you. If you don’t plan on shoving someone, stay away from other people to lower your risk of getting unexpectedly pushed and eliminated.
