Abilities

Key	Ability	What it does
Passive	Rage	Dealing damage builds Rage. At full Rage Shiv deals +8% damage and his abilities are empowered. Rage starts to decay after 12 s without dealing damage.
M1	Busted Flush	Shotgun blast of 6 pellets × 55% damage.
M2	Busted Flush (alt fire)	Shotgun blast whose recoil launches Shiv backwards (turns into a slide on the ground). 1.26 s cooldown.
1	Serrated Knives	Throw a knife for 250% damage that inflicts Bleed. 2 charges. Full Rage: also deals 3.5% of the target's current health and slows it.
2	Slice and Dice	Dash forward 15 m slashing everything in your path for 800% damage. 4 s cooldown; each enemy hit takes 0.5 s off it (max 2 s per dash). Full Rage: an echo slashes the target again.
3	Bloodletting	For 6 s, 25% of incoming damage is deferred (taken slowly over time). Activate to clear 30% of the damage still waiting. Full Rage: defer 40%. 25 s cooldown.
4	Killing Blow	Leap at an enemy for 1000% damage. Executes enemies below 25% health; an execute fills Rage and lets you recast within 16 s. 10 s cooldown.

Deadlock movement

• Stamina: 3 charges (arcs around the crosshair), 1 refills every 6 s.
• Dash (Left Shift): 1 stamina. 10 m on the ground, 8 m in the air.
• Dash-jump: jump 0.3–0.55 s into a ground dash for a long leap (with Deadlock's dash-jump sound). Jumping earlier is a "miss" and loses your speed.
• Slide (Left Ctrl): while moving fast; faster downhill. Jumping out of a slide keeps your speed.
• Air jump: 1 stamina. Mantle: jump or push into a ledge to climb it.
• Automatic sprint and Source-style air/ground momentum.

HUD

• Deadlock ability row, Deadlock health bar with the Rage meter, stamina arcs.
• Top bar: your team (with each player's boss kills), the run clock, stage, level, difficulty and time to the next difficulty tier, and the enemies in play (bosses first, then tougher enemies, then the rest).
• Boss kill streak: each boss kill without dying grows Shiv's streak, with Deadlock's kill-streak animation.
• Prefer RoR2's own HUD? Set Shiv HUD / Use Deadlock HUD = false (stamina arcs stay). Items are on the TAB scoreboard while the top bar is shown.

Settings (BepInEx config com.shiv.character.cfg, or your mod manager's config editor)

• Shiv Key Map: Deadlock keys on/off, and the keys for abilities 1–4 and alt fire.
• Shiv Movement: dash and slide keys, automatic sprint, Deadlock air / ground movement, ground friction / acceleration, mantle.
• Shiv HUD: Use Deadlock HUD, Show top bar, top bar / ability bar / health bar scale.
• Shiv Debug: Debug logs (off). Turn on when reporting a bug.

Multiplayer

Works in multiplayer. Everyone in the lobby needs Shiv installed, at the same version.

Known issues

• Items don't show on Shiv's body yet (they still work).
• With Use Deadlock HUD = false, RoR2's skill icons show RoR2's key labels, but Shiv still uses the Deadlock keys (1–4).
• Balance is a first pass. Feedback is welcome.
