--- hero:shiv [2025/12/01 14:42] – Adjusted for newer shiv patch, initial wall jump now costs 0.25 stamina programming_lover
+++ hero:shiv [2026/01/11 00:52] (current) – Added more to alt fire section. Need to elaborate on keeping most impulse by aiming perpendicular to direction compsoter

 <shiv_sm> Shiv does not have a zoom. Instead, he has an alt-fire ((AKA M2 (Mouse 2) or RMB (Right Mouse Button) )).
-<shiv_sm> Shiv’s alt-fire shoots two rounds out of his shotgun. The recoil knocks you back, similar to the gun [[https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Force-A-Nature|Force-A-Nature]] from Team Fortress 2. This alt-fire allows for more movement opportunities for <shiv_sm> Shiv.

+Alt-fire sends you at an initial impulse of ''404'' units per second, after which you are subject to gravity and air drag.((Tested through ''cl_showpos'' and through ''cvar'' unlocker.)) The amount of horizontal and vertical velocity you get out of alt-fire are components of the inital impulse and the angle you shot at.

+If you're on the ground and you do not aim parallel to the ground, your horizontal velocity will be the component of the impulse and the aiming angle, but your vertical impulse will be eaten, resulting in less horizontal velocity.
+When on the ground, usage of alt-fire will result in a vertical impulse of ''12'' units upwards((Shown through ''cvar'' unlocker.)). This results in Shiv being able to slide easily from an alt-fire by utilising Slide Storage.
+Alt-fire always sends at ''404'' units per second((Test this through setting noclip friction to 0 and using alt-fire in a line; velocity is not additive.)); depending on your pre-existing velocity, alt-fire can be detrimental.

+==== History ====
+<shiv_sm> Shiv has existed as a character for a large portion of the games lifespan, existing in Deadlock's predecessor, Neon Prime. In Neon Prime, <pl_shiv_sm> Shiv likely had no alt-fire. Eventually, Neon Prime was scrapped, and assets and the general game were integrated into Deadlock. <shiv_sm> Shiv existed in the files but was not selectable.
+On the [[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/08-15-2024-update.16378/|08-15-2024]] patch, <shiv_sm> Shiv was added into matchmaking((Added a new hero, Shiv)). On release, <shiv_sm> Shiv had his alt-fire and it worked identically to how it works now. The impulse of alt-fire was ''500'' u/s.
+On the [[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/10-24-2025-update.87198/|10-24-2025]] patch, alt-fire knockback was decreased by 10%((Shiv: Alt fire knockback reduced by 10%)). The impulse of alt-fire sent was ''450'' u/s.
+On the [[https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/11-21-2025-update.90383/|11-21-2025]] patch, alt-fire knockback was decreased by a further 10%(("Shiv: Alt fire knockback reduced by 10%")) and the amount of ammo that alt-fire consumed was increased from 2-->3((Shiv: Alt fire ammo cost increased from 2 to 3)). After this point, the impulse became ''404'' u/s.

 **M2 Sliding** is the act of using <shiv_sm> Shiv’s alt-fire to enter into the [[universaltech:slide]] state.
-<shiv_sm> Shiv’s alt-fire knocks him back at a peak speed of ''500'' u/s in the ground and in the air. You can use this speed to start a slide, since the speed exceeds the ''376'' u/s threshold needed to start a slide.

 Without items, you are only able to enter slide state for one shot; see [[hero:shiv#infinite_m2_slide|Infinite M2 Slide]] to be able to continuously enter slide state while shooting.

 **Infinite M2 Slide** requires items to be bought from the shop that increase fire rate. A minimum of +22% fire rate((<item_high_velocity_rounds> <wrap retailsemibold>High Velocity Rounds</wrap>, <item_rapid_rounds> <wrap retailsemibold>Rapid Rounds</wrap>, <item_slowing_bullets> <wrap retailsemibold>Slowing Bullets</wrap>)) is required, but a higher percentage is recommended, and will result in higher leniency, speed and control. It can also be done with the <weapon> <wrap retailsemibold><color #9E6203>Weapon</color></wrap> item <item_fleetfoot> <wrap retailsemibold>Fleetfoot</wrap> (<wrap retailsemibold><color #2EC4B6><soul> 1,600</color></wrap>) which increases [[universaltech:dash]] distance by 25% on its own.
-Using this faster fire rate, you can chain M2 shots while in a [[universaltech:slide]] to maintain or even gain speed that exceeds the threshold of ''376'' u/s.
+Using this faster fire rate, you can chain M2 shots while in a [[universaltech:slide]] to maintain or even gain speed that exceeds the threshold of ''350'' u/s.
 Furthermore, slides allow for infinite shooting, allowing you to slide __infinitely with no ammo loss__, and if done from a ground [[universaltech:jump]], costs no bars of [[universaltech:stamina]]. This allows the slide to go on forever as long as you keep shooting. The Infinite M2 Slide also allows you to make sharp turns with the slide.
