  • Patch 449 - Fixed shield collisions so bullets no longer occasionally pass through, much more effective!

Gameplay

By default, you must pick up a Riot Shield by walking up to it and pressing "V". The shield will need to be bound to a key and typically this open slot is "2". The riot shield may be able to protect you from a sea of bullets but has many vulnerabilities. The sides and back of your character are unprotected as the shield is only effective if you're looking directly at your enemy. The shield protects against explosives only if you look directly at the source of the explosive. If the explosive is behind or beside the unprotected portions of your character, your character will lose balance. A banana can cause shielded enemies to lose balance. Going Prone with your shield will unequip the item and be stored back in your inventory. A common way to counter a riot shielded enemy is to run up, shove them so they lose balance, and arrest. In addition, the feet of a standing/running player that has a riot shield are exposed; they can be targeted.
