Riot Shield

The Riot Shield is a primary weapon in Gun Raiders. It's a large shield that blocks attacks.
==Functionality==
The Riot Shield is a large shield that can block bullets, projectiles, and melee weapons. It has relatively poor damage capability, only dealing 20 damage when the user bashes someone with it without utilizing the alternate modes. Instead, it focuses on pairing with a sidearm, to provide extremely good defense in exchange for a lackluster offense. When held, the Riot Shield reduces explosive damage to the user by 80%.
The Riot Shield is compatible with sidearms.
=== Alternate modes ===
The Riot Shield has two alternate modes; Spike and Wall. Both use up energy, which is obtained by killing players or blocking attacks.
==== Spike ====
Spike generates several red spikes on the front of the Riot Shield, which increases the damage dealt by the bash functionality from 25 to 75.
==== Wall ====
Wall adds a small blue forcefield around the Riot Shield, which effectively increases the size of the bullet blocking capability of the Riot Shield. 
== Trivia ==
* Prior to update 0.7.9.7, the Riot Shield was incapable of dealing damage on its own.
