The Riot Shield in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is considered annoying and not very strong by many players. However, if you take a closer look, you can see the true potential of the shield.
This was shown: On reddit, user MuckinAround demonstrates the strength of the shield. He and a teammate had various killstreaks face off against the riot shield.
The video shows that the shield can surprisingly withstand many killstreaks and protects the user. This further underscores the strength of the shield.
Riot Shield wins against Killstreaks
This is the clip: The video has received over 11,000 upvotes on reddit and many players are excited about the analysis:
In total, the player pits 15 killstreaks against the shield. The riot shield withstands 9 of the killstreaks. Only against airstrikes with rockets does the player and his shield have to give in.
What is so impressive: Any shot that does not explode immediately cannot harm the shield. Even the large calibers from planes and helicopters cannot get past the shield.
The riot shield is already strong against players and their rifle ammunition, but here you see that many killstreaks also fail against the shield.
Even the Juggernaut, which requires the longest killstreak after the nuke, cannot overcome the shield. The Juggernaut is incredibly strong and can quickly let you rack up over 100 kills, but against the shield, he is powerless.
What you should think about: If you are on maps that do not provide much cover from above, such as Shipment, then you should consider using a riot shield. With the shield, you can block various attacks from above and draw the fire of a VTOL jet towards yourself while the rest of the team unleashes bullets and rockets on the killstreak.
How can you defeat the shield? Players with a riot shield can primarily be taken out by explosive weapons. So if you face a shield, you can throw grenades to defend yourself.
