 +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.

To execute, aim towards a wall, alt-fire, and then press jump immediately after, ideally after one tick. Like with any wall jump, you can hold a direction to influence your wall jump trajectory while performing this technique.

-The input can be inconsistent due to how precise the input timing is, and there is no known console bind to automate the execution. If you don’t input the wall jump quickly enough after alt-fire, you’ll be too far away from the wall to wall jump and will perform an air jump instead, but if you press alt-fire and wall jump at the same time, alt-fire will not register due to the wall jump locking out inputs.+The input can be inconsistent depending on the geometry of the wall. If you don’t input the wall jump quickly enough after alt-fire, you’ll be too far away from the wall to wall jump and will perform an air jump instead, but if you press alt-fire and wall jump at the same time, alt-fire will sometimes not register due to the wall jump locking out inputs.

It is also easier to do this on some walls than others — the flatter and more plain the wall, the easier.+Firing alt-fire at a shallower angle to the wall can make this easier to perform at the cost of gaining less speed; this lets you move more laterally along the wall. It is also easier to do this on some walls than others — the flatter and more plain the wall, the easier.
  
 Anecdotally, binding alt-fire and jump to keys on the same hand (e.g. both on keyboard or both on mouse buttons) can make the execution easier. Anecdotally, binding alt-fire and jump to keys on the same hand (e.g. both on keyboard or both on mouse buttons) can make the execution easier.
