Overview

The riot shield is a defensive powerhouse in the finals, Available for the medium build contestant. It offers a unique playstyle focused on blocking bullets and aggressive close-quarters combat.

Overall, the riot shield is a high-risk, high-reward weapon. It can be incredibly powerful in the right hands, but requires good positioning and awareness to avoid getting flanked.

Pros

• Superior Defense: The primary function of the riot shield is to completely block incoming fire from the front. This lets you push objectives and close the distance on enemies without fear of getting mowed down.
• Melee Option: You can bash enemies with the shield for close-range takedowns. While not the fastest weapon, it can catch opponents off guard.
• Movement Options: The shield can be used on ziplines while still providing cover.

Cons

• Limited Offense: You’re restricted to using the shield or a sidearm while it’s deployed. This makes fighting at mid-range or long-range a challenge.
• Vulnerability: Your back and legs are exposed while using the shield. Good players will try to flank you or shoot at your feet.
• Movement Slowdown: Moving with the shield is slower than without it. You’ll need to strategically switch between shield and weapon depending on the situation.
