| summary = Bleeds out enemies, then goes in for a kill
| description = Shiv has zero interest in playing fair, which is why he relies on hit and run tactics to weaken enemies before he dives in for the kill.
Shiv is a monster hunter with a cause, conducting hit-and-run attacks and picking off vulnerable targets. Flinging Serrated Knives to bleed his targets from range, Shiv builds his Rage through damage and dashes up to his enemy with a Slice and Dice flurry of blades and a few powerful shotgun blasts. Smelling blood, Shiv hunts down any dying targets to finish them off with a devastating Killing Blow.
A former criminal, Shiv seeks to make up for his past mistakes by hunting down monsters on behalf of The Baxter Society.
Throw a knife that bleeds an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the bleed duration, causing the bleed to increase per stack.

Trivia
Shiv has an alternate model in the games files titled "shiv_ult.vmdl_c" which shows an unfinished giant mole transformation presumably meant for an old ultimate ability.
