Shiv/Movement: Difference between revisionsGive feedback

Shiv does not have a zoom. Instead, he has an alt-fire ((AKA M2 (Mouse 2) or RMB (Right Mouse Button) )).

=== History ===

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.  

=== Force Jumping ===

Force Jumping is often used to get to heights not possible without.

=== M2 Recoil Skip ===

By inputting alt-fire followed immediately by a [[universaltech:dash|ground dash]] to move in the direction of your dash, you can ignore the backwards momentum from alt-fire. This is called a **M2 Recoil Skip**. This can be useful when chasing enemies.

=== M2 Wall Jump ===

This technique requires 0.25 [[universaltech:stamina|stamina]], and can be used to gain significant velocity away from the wall.

=== M2 Sliding ===

<shiv_sm> Shiv’s alt-fire knocks him back at a peak speed of ''404'' u/s in the ground and in the air. You can use this speed to start a slide, since the speed exceeds the ''350'' u/s threshold needed to start a slide.

=== M2 Slide Hopping ===

**M2 Slide Hopping** is a technique where you are able to [[universaltech:Slide Bunnyhop]] with alt-fire. This can be done without any items, but is harder than [[hero:shiv#infinite_m2_slide|Infinite M2 Sliding]]. The main advantage of M2 Slide Hopping is that it does not take any items at all and is faster than regular base walking speed. For these reasons, M2 Slide Hopping is good during the laning phase.

To M2 Slide Hop (assuming no items):

=== Infinite M2 Slide ===

**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.

You can slide in one of two ways:

To execute Infinite M2 Sliding, be in a slide, hold a directional movement key and hold M2 to it to be buffered and automatically time it for you. The easiest way to initiate an Infinite M2 Slide is to jump and hold the duck key, then shoot((From the air, shoot early (near the apex of the jump) to make the technique easier.)).

=== Infinite M2 Slide Acceleration ===

**Infinite M2 Slide Acceleration**((AKA Infinite M2 Slide Accel)) is a technique where you [[hero:shiv#infinite_m2_slide|Infinite M2 Slide]] sideways and shoot perpendicular to where you are going.

For there to be a noticeable amount of acceleration you need either

With Infinite M2 Slide Acceleration, you can reach peak speeds of ''~1300'' u/s, although the highest speed you will practically reach is ''~900'' u/s.

To execute, first start an Infinite M2 Slide sideways, then shoot perpendicular to where you are moving.

=== Slice and Dice Leap ===

When in the air, <wrap retailsemibold>Slice and Dice</wrap> can be aimed in nearly every direction, with exception of directly overhead and beneath, which will instead send at a 89° angle ((''abilites.vdata'', ''citadel_ability_shiv_dash'', ''DashAngleThreshold''))((This can be seen most clearly when enabling ''cl_showpos 2'' and monitoring your X and Y coordinates)). This can be used for traversal as a "second" dash.
