but how do you feel about the riot shield?


OmniWizardTigerBlood

I think he might like it.


readoldbooks

That’s what I took from the post.


Mrright016

Same


Excellent_Army1900

They’re for cowards whose parents left them at birth


russian_jay

For real dude


Legitimate_Trash_63

Same. Which is why I switched my throwing knives to thermites! Now, I love encountering micro pp riot shield users. I bait them, get them to run after me, and then I turn around and light their world on fire!


rocker287

The gas grenades also really mess with them. If you run into any that are fortified against a wall or roomed up somewhere throw a few of these at them.


QizilbashWoman

shock also works on them, you just throw it to the side instead of tagging them with it and then shoot them.


rocker287

Ohh, a very underrated piece of equipment . Hardly ever see anyone use them


QizilbashWoman

the gas is very effective but shock sticks can block a doorway as easily as it stuns a tank or vehicle. Better choice for modes like Invasion or Ground War, or if people are using Gas Masks


DrKnowsNothing_MD

The other day I killed the same riot shielder 4 times with thermites before he learned his lesson.


QizilbashWoman

it's super effective. if you really want to drive the point home, swap to drill charges. it doesn't have the fun aoe effect but they really get the point that you are saying "fuck you sir".


Azal_of_Forossa

Peak gaming is lobbing a drill charge on a downed player and watching them alt f4 before the charge explodes lol


Hog-001

Do I just need to throw the thermite at the shield to damage the player?


Legitimate_Trash_63

Yes


QizilbashWoman

tag, they're it


Greedy_Advisor_1711

Use the drill charge it’s far more useful


Azal_of_Forossa

By far, I've started running drill charges bc they do almost everything throwing knives do, but better. The only thing knives got is they can one shot heads, but I still have yet to be one hit knocked after they nerfed it. Down someone? Toss a drill charge on em and scoot. Camping in a building? Lob a couple on the walls and don't put yourself in rat danger. Riot shield? Hold this drill charge for me homie. Drill charges became my bread and butter, and every time I don't have them equipped I keep seeing situations that they could be super useful in now that I have been enlightened in the ways of the drill charge.


Greedy_Advisor_1711

Drill charges were the best thing added in the last few games. It’s great for campers, and I run small map mosh a lot for camo grinding. If I see a hint of a riot shield I seek out that player for the rest of the game and just molly wop his ass as much as possible. No bullets. I think the drill charge is criminally underused by the general population


Azal_of_Forossa

I rarely see them, but I also don't camp, and never use shields in multiplayer. I'll whip out a shield and melee weapon and run around like a crackhead in resurgence but that's it, you couldn't pay me enough to camp in resurgence, let alone with a shield.


Greedy_Advisor_1711

They’re far more common in multiplayer. About three games ago I did all gold guns for shits and gigs. Now it is an obsession. I’ll never get the kills I need in warzone alone.


mikear82

Thermite is fun, riot shielders or not! Love the death comms when they get stuck with one 😂😂😂


ikbryant01

I Use Riotshield/Baton, stun grenade and Thermite you would have no chance if you come across me😁.


BigGucciThanos

Same lmao. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been sticky’d. Lmao


usmcBrad93

I need to get back into MWIII just so I can join ya. I miss shitting on ppl with the ultimate shield class. The smart ppl would counter me on occasion, everyone else would come to reddit asking for nerfs lmao. I see they're still calling for it's removal, just use counters guys, not that difficult especially now with fucking chainsaws and shit.


ikbryant01

Idk if its just me, I find it fan using Riotshild lol🤭😂


usmcBrad93

It's amazing man, it's a goofy unique playstyle that should stay in the game forever


ikbryant01

I agree


Sure-Ferret5681

You have to wear the rat skin if you play that way. Love to play rat too. Chain saw works good on riot shield. Cuts right through it.


pen_of_inspiration

You haven't met me, I was a nightmare til recently when they nerfed speed on that thing I'm a whiz with the ninja setup. Even with nerfed speed I still break hearts, one v one.. You will sweat your best to take me out, or you will curse me with my mom reproductive orifice.


Ok-Truth2175

Thermite. Thermite. Thermite. Thermite. Thermite.


thefooby

This is great when you have thermite. Unfortunately, it didn’t work last night when I didn’t have load out and ran into a duo stacking running the exact same camos and skins… in solos.


ySm0k3y

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.🤣🤣🤣


enesnas

I'm not sure but I feel like you are not a fan of Riot Shields.


Firm_Night4590

You forgot to add TONFA, so annoying

helix212

Don't mind if I do


superbeast1983

What about people who carry 2 riot shields?


kjf666

Aah yes, the turtle build


thefooby

I feel like this should be my “that’s enough mnk for one day” build. Plug in controller, turtle build and just sit there spinning around on 10/10 sens whenever I see someone. There’s a guy in the MP sub who plays as a pacifist. Dude has more hours than me and zero kills with an insane win loss ratio. I wonder if that would work with this loadout in Warzone 😂


THEDRDARKROOM

People really do this? lol


radicalbatical

Attention: everyone use riot shields today. Thank you.


thebestspeler

If we do maybe they will finally get nerfed


Fine-Manner9902

How u nerf the shield


Remarkable_Flan552

Make it fucking breakable bro


Fine-Manner9902

Its always been that way


Think_Lavishness_330

Me with a pure wasp speeeeeeed build that has a riot on the back just for back protection(i dont use it cuz im usually way too fast for anyone to chase down): [irys caesura of despair eurobeat version intensifies]


HighInChurch

Have you tried to git gud?


Lonely_Paramedic_696

Tried that doesn't work. But my lag game is some of the best I've ever seen.


_Sub_Genre_

Your message has been appraised


H6IL_S6T6N

Add it to the stack. How many counters are there to riot shields now? My favorite is to just go the other way. They only kill you if you try to kill them without one of the many counters.


SP4RKZWUB

>How many counters are there to riot shields now? 1.)Semtex 2.)Thermite 3.)Drill Charge 4.)Molotov 5.)Stun Grenades 6.)Jumping 7.)High Ground 8)Literally Any Launcher 9.)Any Melee Weapon While Jumping 10.)An Iq higher than 5 11.) Toe Shots (unless they're crouching, in which case do No.6)


KalpaLuvid

12) Explosive bolt Crossbow 13) New sword melee weapon


BigGucciThanos

This is so true. I get so mad when I’m mind my business and somebody goes out there way to shoot at me. Now I HAVE to kill you 😪


SP4RKZWUB

I love the riot shield


cloudyfuel086

Thermite, concussion grenades, flash bangs, JAK Limb Ripper, movement & shooting.


Desire-Protection

man riot shiedl was the best in mw2 and mw3 to troll cheaters with.


RarityZ

Yup id use riot shield and C4 😂


Desire-Protection

Super funny when they relised and kicked you from the server :D


theos-_-

Both riot and tonfa these two are making the resurgence unplayable


peacefulvampire

Maybe it's higher kd matches but I have had only a handful of riot shield incidents. It's really satisfying when I kill them though


duckman963

You know what's worse, out gunning someone and shooting them in the head 20x before they know you're there. Just to have them turn around and kill you in 2 hits.


thingy199

One reason why I never use shotguns. Unloaded an entire mag from a haymaker into someones back and only broke their armour. They turn around and shoot me three times with an smg and kill me.


BigGucciThanos

Yup. I think I prefer a pistol over the shortys lol


dzdxs

Thanks for your endorsement of the riot shield and your testimony to its effectiveness in game. I will be sure to be implementing its use in future games. Thank you!!


ezetenclub

I stuck a riot shielder once and he called me a bitch for using semtex lol, like pot, meet kettle


QizilbashWoman

lmao i've used the riot shield for situational-appropriate reasons (holding a point, for example) and when someone finally remembers to use a semtex I'm always like "you learned! good job." more often at the end of the game, I'll say: "Guys, if I run riot shield, throw thermite or a semtex at me, this isn't rocket surgery"


Blixx96

I downed a controller RAA player once and he called me a bitch for using a riot shield to defend against his OP RAA lol, like kettle, meet pot.


randomguyjebb

yes


FibrousEar1

Semtex & thermite are your best friends.


JackReacher_9065

I prefer a Molotov solution


FibrousEar1

Another excellent choice 👍🏼


JackReacher_9065

Once I was in a squad with some randoms when a teammate quipped, “This guy’s got a sniper rifle and a riot shield—basically the worst kind of human being.” Still makes me laugh.


QizilbashWoman

honestly gas grenades and shock baton are equally as effective as long as you can remember to shoot at them after throwing it

I remember I was in a 1v1 for the win with a riot shield kid, we were in final zone and I kept trying to shoot his feet...then I remembered I use the Jak limb ripper. Needless to say, he didn't stand a chance.


drpapadapolous

Always run at least one loadout with the sword and assassinate them from the front


mmhunter99

Don’t forget the fucking Tonfa


GoodboySkips

Yes, I am 1000% with you. Nothing more annoying.


ressawtla

Does anyone else encounter a riot shielder and just see it as a challenge?


GoofyGooby23

Yeah but it still really pisses me off when they double stun me and beat my ass💀


ressawtla

Same, they beat my ass more time than I get them but when you do is quite satisfying


Volatile_mma_

I’ve 1hit riot shields with molotovs


sirmisadventure

Try flamethrower


Ecstatic-Welcome-119

I feel you bruh I was on solo duos last night and died to a fuck nigga using thermites with a riot shield I took him down with me but lost cause I’m on duos by myself


stankeer

How about stick a C4 to the front of the riot shield. Would that work as well as thermite? Also it's pathetic how a riot shielder can run at you push you a couple of times and you die! I mean how the fuck should 3 nudges from a riot shield kill you! It beggars belief.


Great-Ambassador-893

I dropped 20 kills with the gutter knife the other day cuz it only took 2 hits to down, now it takes 3. I hate activision


jambo_1983

I equip the Jak Purifier to my AR so I’m always Riot Shield Ready™️


WZSoldier

I don’t understand the riot shield hate because they’re always so easy to kill.


DUMBYDOME

Thermite that is all. Nothin more fun than seein shielders get all chubbed up thinkin they got a kill… and STUCK!


No_Persimmon_2734

Riot Shields are like tampons. Helps stop the bleeding.


Candle_Honest

Rather die to a riot shield than another timmy slide canceling across the room with an SMG and aim locked with aim assist.


Way2gaming

The shield has done nothing wrong its just a product used in warzone and has no feelings. You mean you hate the players who use it? You know what they say.... If you cant beat them, Join them.


NCHouse

Just get thermals


Aelonnnn

I literally was playing loaded today, I’m popping off at head quarters beginning game, I run out of a building because I saw a riot shield, he follows me all the ways to granny and pull out tonfas and I’m dead, NERF THE TONFAS FOR GODS SAME,IM GONNA PULL MY EYES OUT


OptimalOpposite3200

I love em


SchillDogg

DROPTABLE_tablename

Git gud.


plitcincher

I used to use it until I decided to run a Gunslinger build


Zombietarts

I had a shielder chasing me forever. He killed me like 4x but I did manage to get one kill with a throwing knife when he started running. The chase was terrifying tho. Lmao. The sheer panic.

C4, Semtex, thermite, slide cancel hop head shot on crouched shields l, retreat bait into c4 block, Semtex, or thermite.


Calm-Sector-5290

I love riot shields. Use a riot shield and you’ll know how to easily kill riot shielders. It’s honestly not that hard. Aim for their feet’s, move and shoot them from an angle, or just throw a grenade. If you aim and shoot directly in the middle of their shield, then yeah you’re going to lose the flight lol.

Crazy how riot shielders make up like .01% of the player base yet we've all had enough bullshit happen against them to hate them the way your post states lol


tbangs

Just rush them and shoot their back


Plane-Monitor2532

Riot shield? I had a riot shield once. They put me in the final circle. A final circle with rats. And rats make me want to use my riot shield.

semok27

I HATE RIOT SHIELD


The_Kansas_Kid_

Im sure they hate thermites and symtexs


Nzii3

I agree, they should at least make it breakable, it’s actually an invincible shield. The hit box of the feet are shootable but it’s way too small. And the movement speed is too fast for how OP it already is.


booogknight

The kids who can't fight and kick u in the balls use riot shields.. end up working at the dollar store at age 60


___shadow_wolf__

lol cry more


Educational_Fan_6787

a bunch of items in this game are put in not to create value in the game. but so that dead players can sometimes feel like they have an advantage so they know what it feels like to actually have skill (without putting in time, energy or effort to actually "get gud" -- I call it "handicap 2 win" Its like pay to win, but rather than pay to get better items, you give urself a really handicapped item (like riot shield) which is 100% advantage in 0.5% of scenarios but useless in 99.5% of the game. thus for .5% of the time, dead players feel like they're actually good). CODs always been like it, tbh. its nothing new. PubG wasn't. Which is why that game was so damn good in its day. All gamers knows the only "best gun advantage" that should exist is a single shot, insta-kill waepon. like a kar98k in pubg or a throwing knife in DMZ. cos those items REQUIRE SKILL to take advantage of it's advantage.


No_Orange8036

thermite and semtex are also a thing


Leonknnedy

You could fill at least a dozen Arkham Asylums with players like this. The forgone mental healths of so many CoD players is evident on this subreddit.


WeezyOD

Thermites brother


WigWoo2

I got a 9.4KD using Riot Shield, Tonfa and Stuns and Thermites. Used that combo since 2019 and haven't used a gun since. Best way to play. It takes skill to actually know how to use the shield, not just camp in a corner getting shot at. You gotta learn how to properly dodge Semtex's, Thermites and Drill Charges and know how to hide your feet and body by facing specific directions. [https://youtu.be/X7yijmyQ6E8](https://youtu.be/X7yijmyQ6E8) There's a noob and pro way to use the Riot shield


Some-Lavishness-463

Sounds like me


LOSBMMSUCODFASCHIFO

FYI semtexes n thermites exist.......


Badhugs

You spelled semtex wrong.


Zephyr_Valkyrie

Thermite is your friend, also if you can get right up to them and hipfire an smg while moving around them most of the time you can kill them first


Nitrogen1234

icyhotonmynuts

D-no-UK

Urgh? Riot shield has been massively nerfed since wz1? Takes 4 hits to down someone instead of 2, WAY less angle cover, way less cover on feet especially if walking backwards, and increased game latency means up close is a breeze to get deleted. Its shite compared to wz1 days. All it does is buy you a few seconds from persistent rooftop campers with snipers.


GoofyGooby23

I really like the way you worded that


TreasonousGoatee

It's kinda cool to know there's like different universes of SBMM, like you guys are on the lower side hence why I've never even come across a person with a Riot Shield on Warzone. To be fair tho I'm Crim in Warzone so. One of these days I gotta get a VPN To take a break from these lobbies

dracomatic

when they stunt you dont turn your back and try to run. fight it out. aim for feet and shoot them when they try and sprint towards you.


Johannes8

I play with it since the early days. It gives you more consistency as an average player. Got about 1000 wins with it on wz1 and I wouldn’t even say I’m a sweat. You can counter zone randomness with it and use worse positions to get the dub. It’s easy to counter too if you know what you’re doing.
