(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok i'm just going to go through some things about how to actually not look like an idiot with the Riot Shield. I see a lot of people doing stupid things while using it and they end up dieing a lot. Usually when i use the Riot shield I end up going somewhere around 7-2 in SnD depending on the lag.

First thing you want is to have a good class for the Riot shield. This is probably the best one right here.

Primary Weapon: Riot Shield
Secondary Weapon: Any shotgun that you like
Equipment: Throwing knife (if your good with it) or Blast Shield if not
Special Grenades: Stuns
Perk 1: Marathon
Perk 2: Lightweight
Perk 3: Commando

It's pretty basic but it works and it's important to have a class with at least commando because sometimes i see Riot classes with completely random perks it seems like.
Ok now on how to actually use the shield.

1. This sounds obvious but ALWAYS keep your target in front of you. I see so many people who barely even look at the guy shooting at them. A lot of times people will try to run around you and knife you or shoot you. Try to follow there movements as best you can to make sure they can't get around you. You will get the hang of it eventually. trust me.

2. Always crouch! Unless the person is new to the game or just stupid the first thing they are going to try is to attack your feet. Crouching fixes that problem. It's good to sprint at them when they are reloading or trying to throw grenades at you as long as you make sure you crouch soon after sprinting for a few seconds because when your target gets ready to shoot again hes gonna screw you over badly if you keep sprinting.

3. Use your equipment. Your equipment is very important. Whether your using the Blast shield or the Throwing knife it's important that you know how and when to use them because they can become a factor of life or death on your part.

Throwing Knife: Very useful if you can get good with them. More times than not your target will not expect you to be using these and will be surprised when you kill them with it. The trick to using these is using them at the right time and using them fast. Only use these when your enemy is reloading or throwing a grenade because otherwise you are giving him an easy opening and will probably die. You also have to make sure that you hold your knife for 2 seconds at most. Any longer than that is going to give your target enough time to start shooting at you. Another thing, make sure you actually have a chance to hit your target because if you try to throw it across the map it's probably going to miss and your going to lose your knife. If your target turns around to run away that is the best time to use these things, try not to miss that opportunity. The second they turn around Throw it right in their back.

Blast Shield: If your not good with the Throwing knife or you just don't like it then this is your other equipment option.The blast shield makes you more resistant to explosives. A lot of people think that the blast shield does nothing. That's not true and i can remember countless time where this thing has saved me (before i moved over to the throwing knife). The thing with the blast shield is that you can't see your radar when using it so only use it when your in the middle of a fight with someone (unless your in Hardcore then hell leave it on the whole game).

4. Take advantage of your enemies! There are way too many people who underestimate the Riot shield so when they see you using it a lot of times they think "YAY FREE KILL" and run at you like gorillas. When this happens I usually laugh at them and give them the knife to the face or a good Riot shield beating.

5. Ignore annoying people! Trust me at least once a game you will get some pissed off idiot that starts screaming random swears and things like "OMG WHY ARE USING THE RIOT SHIELD YOU FAG?!". Just laugh at them when at the end of the game they went terribly negative and it was all because of "The Riot shield fag".

Ok well that's pretty much it. I covered everything that you need to know to be a master at Riot shielding. Now remember that all these skills come with practice so it's not going to come to you just life that. Now go out and pwn some nubs and have fun

I will post links later.

Any feedback?

hmm. i do think that riot shields are a bit nooby but still thanks for showing me how to annoy people =)

If you use the stinger you are basically depending on your melee attack and equipment, this could be a problem when you are faced with multiple enemys. If you use a shotgun it is going to be easier for you to kill the enemy quickly =D Just my opinion by the way

lol, what do you mean nooby? like easy to use? because i disagree with that :black:

but your welcome

i can agree with that to an extent. but i think handguns are probably the best possible option as they switch out the fastest, which you need for when the person is reloading or trying to throw something at you

i mean like its more annoying than most things. sort of like noob tubes. noob tubes for me are like easy to use bcuz u aim and shoot and danger close= auto death lol

I use the AA12 with grip as it switches faster then without grip or I use the desert eagle tactical knife as it kills quickly with both the knife and bullets.

i do agree that they are annoying to face lol, but i think they take skill to use. :black:

You must login or register to view this content. look at tactics, it says it near the bottom Its an awesome website btw! I looked on youtube for a video but I couldnt find any...

ok thanks man, i believe you, but do not trust everything that you see on wiki :mudkip:

W.B.
Does commando increase lunge distance with the shield lowered?
When defending a position, isn't claymore and scavanger more effective than marathon?
When your the last one alive defending, smoke with claymore and scav. can get you several kills,especially when defending a room.
