The Hustle

Lore

Background

“The Hustle! Time to do your stuff!”

Paco Laburante’s Stand has no body of its own. It lives in his muscles and gives him total control over them, so he can swell them to crush a throat, harden them to shrug off a blow or crawl up a wall with them.

Abilities

Chiseled Like A Rock

Summoning The Hustle grows muscles on your body. While it’s out you take 10% less damage, deal 5% more melee damage and deal 50% more damage to piloted Stands. Use R while blocking to knock bullets away.

Bizarre Physique

The Hustle can’t be piloted. Press Pilot (Ctrl) to flex instead. You can climb and crawl on any surface but can’t sprint in this mode, and Leap ends it. The first throwable you walk into sticks to your back and takes the next hit for you. Press H to take it off.

Throat Grab

Grab an enemy by the throat and choke them for 5 seconds. You can walk and climb walls while holding them. Press again to use DO IT and throw them, which can be aimed upwards with your camera; being thrown into a wall or other player does bonus damage. Hold the key instead to carry someone with no damage. They can jump to end the hold.

Cooldown: 16s

The Path Of Violence

Lunge forward with an elbow. If it lands, you dash in, grab them and beat them down before sending them flying. The initial flying elbow deals chip damage.

Cooldown: 14s

Tense Up

Tense your body for 1 second. You gain the unstoppable status during this pose. Attacks during the window do 75% less damage to you and a quarter of the damage hits the attacker instead. If the attack hits you in the first 0.3 seconds of the stance, it’s parried, the attacker is stuck to you for 2 seconds, and the cooldown is heavily reduced. During DO the HUSTLE, the whole damage is sent back at them.

Cooldown: 18s

DO the HUSTLE

Requires 25 HUSTLE. Flex to grow bigger and knock away anyone next to you. Constantly drain your HUSTLE meter to deal 30% more melee damage, move 20% faster, throw objects harder, make targets vibrate with every hit and break guard with your last basic attack. Taking hits and blocking can keep the mode going during it. Press again to end it early.

Cooldown: 30s

HUSTLE

Damage you take, hits you block, hits Tense Up softens and hits your Muscle Plate takes you all add HUSTLE. It slowly drains every 10 seconds out of combat. Do the HUSTLE spends it.

Awakening (EX) moves

Weapon Disarm [1 Bar]

Take the throwable out of a target’s hands, or knock the item they’re holding to the ground.

Cooldown: 18s

Muscle Spasm [1 Bar]

Your next heavy attack plants a hidden muscle spasm in the target for 8 seconds. The next time they shoot, throw or use a heavy attack, it goes wrong and leaves them stunned.

Cooldown: 20s

Leap [1 Bar]

Jump up and forward. You stick to whatever you land on and can climb on it. Using it while flexing ends the flex.

Cooldown: 10s

Brutal Beatdown [1 Bar]

Sprint forward and drive a flying knee into the first enemy you reach, then grab them and beat them down with a long string of blows before a headbutt sends them flying.

Cooldown: 25s

Ability scaling

What Strength and Ability change

Brutal Beatdown’s damage scales 90% with Strength and 10% with Ability. Chiseled Like A Rock’s 10% damage reduction, 5% melee bonus and 50% bonus against piloted Stands are fixed percentages, not ability-scaled values.

How to obtain

Rarity and arrow rolls

Epic stays in the Mysterious Arrow pool, and Lucky Arrow lists Epic at 42.5%; the Bizarre Arrow excludes Epic. These are rarity-level odds, not odds for this exact Stand.

This Stand is named Do The Hustle in the November 3, 2026 Part 9 lineup; this page uses the in-game name The Hustle. It sits with the arrow-pool Stands rather than on the Unfinished / In Testing / Reworking list.

See the Stand arrows guide for the full arrow table, crafting costs and reroll rules.

Update notes

Dated developer entries

• November 3, 2026: Do The Hustle announced, alongside November Rain, Lyin’ Eyes, The MATTEKUDASAI and Big Mouth Strikes Again.
• November 4, 2026: a follow-up batch fixed about 50 reported bugs with the new stands; the entry does not break the fixes down per Stand.
• November 14, 2026: a new EX move was added in the launch patch, and about four hours later its barrage damage was nerfed by 35%. No starting damage figure was ever published, so the percentage has no base number behind it.
