By default, you must pick up a [[Riot Shield]] by walking up to it and pressing "'''V'''". The shield will need to be bound to a key and typically this open slot is "'''2'''". The riot shield may be able to protect you from a sea of bullets but has many vulnerabilities. The sides and back of your character are unprotected as the shield is only effective if you're looking directly at your enemy. The shield protects against explosives only if you look directly at the source of the explosive. If the explosive is behind or beside the unprotected portions of your character, your character will lose balance. A [[banana]] can cause shielded enemies to lose balance. Going ''Prone'' with your shield will unequip the item and be stored back in your inventory. A common way to counter a riot shielded enemy is to run up, shove them so they lose balance, and arrest. In addition, the feet of a standing/running player that has a riot shield are exposed; they can be targeted.

A transparent, polycarbonate shield that can stop bullets and provide cover from explosives, but still leaves the user vulnerable to hand-to-hand combat.

Details

Overview

To-do: Clean up. Add highlights. Mention that items do not stick and roll off.

The Shield provides excellent cover on-the-go.

The Shield is equipped by pushing the Front Item or Back Item keybind, assigned to the number one key (1) and the number two key (2) respectively.

For balance, the shield has a delay when being pulled out before it appears in font of the player. Similarly, putting it away removes it instantly while playing an uncancellable animation.

The shield does not defend from being knocked over with Hands.

While crouching, the shield will clip into the ground to fully cover the user. Crouch walking will raise the shield enough to warrant looking slightly downwards to fully cover the feet. Crouch walking left or right can expose the knee or foot. Standing or aiming upwards will expose the player.

Is automatically unequipped when going prone. Cannot be used on ladders or in water.

Explosions send out "rays" to detect if they hit a player. If all explosion rays are blocked then a player will take no damage. This can even protect someone from a mortar strike! CS Gas ignores shields.

Stats

To-do: Add equip time and unequip time.

Trivia

To-do: Anything of note?

Gallery

To-do: Old shield model? A picture of someone crouched, but walking to the side and exposing their legs.
