Bleeds out enemies, then goes in for a kill
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 playable hero in Deadlock, added on August 15, 2024.

A FATE'S TALE:

A loyal member of "The Baxter Society", an international order of monster hunters, Shiv travels across North America looking to put down creatures that prey on the living.

While his less polished nature and criminal past make some of the more traditional members of the Society wary, no one can deny his effectiveness.

Update history

Shiv's passive ability was changed from 40% damage over time to 35%.

Trivia
