Riot Shield

== Description ==
The Riot Shield is a protection device, very similar to the iconic pan 
being also made of metal protecting the user and his/her allies from 
incoming bullets and shrapnel, also unlike the pan you can hold a Pistol or SMG when using the shield (Dual wielding is not possible) but be careful the shield not only reduces your speed by 30% but can be destroyed.
== Technical ==
* The Player moves at a speed of 8 when holding a shield (12 is the normal speed)
* Shields are immune to stun damage.
* Due to the shield being made out of metal there is a chance of ricochet happening, but this is very rare.
== Strategies ==
=== Using ===
* This item is very useful in squads mode, having an member carrying one is always recommended.
* The user must be always ahead of your temmates, since he/she can protect them with ease.
* Get a SMG with high fire rate such has the MAC-10 to compensate the lack of speed.
* You can use shields to block or push enemies, try pushing them towards a damaged barrel or the red zone.
* If you are invading a building, throw a stun grenade first and then rush trough the area.
=== Countering ===
* The Shield has a total of 630 HP using a Sniper Rifle or Explosives are your best alternatives in a fight.
* Although the user may be protected against the Shrapnel, the Explosion itself still damages the user without any reducion on damage.
* Only the front is protected, the sides and back are the only
vulnerable parts, take advantage of their lack of speed to hit these parts with ease.
