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.
Throw a knife that damages and bleeds an enemy. Each additional hit adds a stack and refreshes the bleed duration, causing the bleed to increase per stack.

Background
“
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.
Killing Blow Rage decay rate increased from 0.25 to 0.3.
Killing Blow Rage buffer duration reduced from 12s to 10s.
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.
