OVERVIEW
The Riot Shield is the exclusive melee option of the Medium combining a bulletproof ballistic shield and a riot baton. Whilst guarding with the shield, the wielder is entirely protected from enemy fire to the front.
PROS AND CONS
Team communication, positioning, and careful planning are the key to using the Riot Shield effectively. A contestant wielding a Riot Shield has the potential to act as mobile cover for your teammates, as a distraction for enemy teams, or assist in close range encounters. A major downside of the Riot Shield is that it offers limited value at long ranges and makes the user susceptible to flanking enemies. The Riot Shield is also weak against explosions, as they will not be shielded from the splash damage from the detonation.
