Shiv has existed as a character for a large portion of the games lifespan, existing in ''[[Deadlock]]'s'' predecessor, [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']]. In ''Neon Prime,'' Shiv likely had no alt-fire. Eventually, ''Neon Prime'' was scrapped, and assets and the general game were integrated into Deadlock. Shiv existed in the files but was not selectable. | Shiv has existed as a character for a large portion of the games lifespan, existing in ''[[Deadlock]]'s'' predecessor, [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']].

'''M2 Wall Jump''' is the act of inputting alt-fire and then immediately wall jumping to gain the velocity boost from both the recoil from Shiv’s alt-fire in addition to the [[Wall Jumping|wall jump]]. 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. | '''M2 Wall Jump''' is the act of inputting alt-fire and then immediately wall jumping to gain the velocity boost from both the recoil from Shiv’s alt-fire in addition to the [[Wall Jumping|wall jump]].

This technique | This technique can be used to gain significant velocity away from the wall. | ||
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. | The input can be inconsistent depending on the geometry of the wall.

'''Infinite M2 Slide''' requires items to be bought from the shop that increase fire rate.
