Modern Warfare 2 Weapons: Riot Shield


Today we'll be taking a closer look at Modern Warfare 2's new defensive weapon, the Riot Shield.

This impenetrable shield will be known as the ultimate defensive tool. Allowing you to protect yourself and your teammates while on the move, the shield looks to change up the gameplay we've become accustomed to, like so many other things that are being brought in for MW2.

Below you'll find some useful information on the Riot Shield as well as some footage showing the shield in action.



- Riot Shield is a primary weapon

- The shield is impenetrable

-Unless crouched, your legs/feet will be visible and open to fire when using the shield

- When shot, the Riot Shield will become cracked and will eventually be unable to look through

- Vulnerable to angles and splash damage

- Suggested to be paired w/ Akimbo (via fourzerotwo)

- When unequipped, the shield will protect your back

- Stun grenades will cause a Riot Shield user to lower the shield, slightly exposing themselves



We hope you've enjoyed this look in the Riot Shield. Keep an eye out for another look at the weapons of MW2 coming soon. To view the full list of confirmed weapons for MW2 multiplayer, visit of Weapons page LINK

what about exsplosive damage ? does it protect you from that ?

I think the riot shield is kind of a bad idea. Just like the boomshield in GoW2. There are going to be 100's of people who over use it and get the advantage because you are basically invincable behind it. So honestly, I don't like the Riot Shield.

If you throw a flash or a stun it makes them vulnerable. I am not sure if it is resistant to explosive damage though. but it will help you in team work.hey now worse than the noob tube eh ?

I think the riot shield is good for when your playing headquarters with a 6 man team. It's kinda cheap but if you double team them or throw grenades on the side of them you can hold it down for a longer period of time.
