Greetings, Strategists! Today's video is something I pretty much never do...shivs only! But I thought "What the hell...might as well do it. You know...for shivs and giggles, haha."

So I started designing a loadout and prioritized two things: 1) not being able to be marked (Covert Training 3) and 2) being extremely quick (Agility 2). After finishing up the loadout I did some research, and was please to find that YouTube shiv legend Jocomat9 used the same exact loadout on his 21 shiv record. Great, I must be on the right track! ;)

While shiv only can be a little gimmicky, and certainly not team-oriented as I prefer, it still can be incredibly entertaining (and educational) to watch. I first started playing The Last of Us, I used to "struggle for a long time with" shivving. It' something that just takes a lot of time, practice, and understanding of both your opponents and game mechanics to become proficient at.

Please enjoy the video, and as always, comment with any questions, ideas, or insights you may have about this video or The Last of Us in general. Cheers! ;)
