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 the flamethrower, melee attacks, and explosions, as it will not provide any protection from the incoming damage.
