How To Beat Shiv In Borderlands 3

In this guide of Borderlands 3, we are going to talk about how to deal with Shiv. He is not the most powerful enemy, but he is the first boss you will come across in the game. 

In the last part of the mission Children of the Vault, is where you will have a chance to meet Shiv. During this fight, grenades and firearms are the weapons you can count on. Right now, the main character of the game has no access to active Action Skills. 

Shiv makes use of a large melee weapon while you come in contact with him. He can send shockwaves with much power and force after striking the ground. You have to constantly be in motion, and if need be, try running sideways. 

By staying at a proper distance from Shiv, you can win the fight and it is the key to success for this duel. Keep shooting from a distance while running around the room. You can also use grenades. But make sure to only throw them where it can damage the boss, for example, if the boss is running towards you, you can throw it in front of him.  

You can also look around for finding barrels with explosives in them. Once you see the enemy is nearby those explosive barrels, you can fire at them. 

If Shiv manages to do a successful attack, move away from him as soon as you can in order to automatically let your shield recover from the damage. Fortunately, Shiv will die in an instant once his health bar exhausts because he does not have a shield that will protect him from the attacks.

This is how you can beat Shiv in Borderlands 3. If you are interested in learning more about the game then you can check out our Mouthpiece boss guide.
