=== Tips ===
* This weapon can be used for general purposes, it is effective at close-medium range, and at long range if using a scope.
* Use the scope when engaging users at long range.
* Strafe around while firing to minimize damage taken.
** Also, the shield has a gap in between the two shield plates, this makes it a prime target for snipers.
* The shield will protect your head and upper chest from enemy fire.
** It is best to use this weapon when there is chest-high cover in front, this makes the user virtually invulnerable from enemy fire.
* Don't forget to deploy your shield when heading into combat.
** Also, if out of combat, try to remove your shield as the shield can limit one's peripheral vision and vision around them.
* Aim for the head to maximize damage.
* Avoid using this weapon against wall break or armor piercing weapons as their shots can pierce through shields easily.
* It serves as a decent backup weapon for Heavy and Sniper weapon users, and for finishing weakened players off.
* This weapon is an excellent choice for fighting very mobile players and for traversing around the map.
* Conserve ammo and be on a look out for ammo pickups, as using this weapon requires a constant supply of ammo for prolonged use
** Alternatively, use an Ammo Pack at the start of a match to get one extra magazine.
* Always aim towards the enemies to protect against oncoming enemy fire coming from the head.
* Though it can absorb half of the damage from area damage weapons, try sticking to cover when attacking such users.
* Use it to suppress enemies hiding behind cover.
* Be wary for flanking enemies, as it is common counter that players will use when dealing with users.
=== Counters ===
* Pick off the user at long range.
* Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
* Aim for center mass instead of the head.
* Use high damaging Sniper weapons such as the Prototype and Lustful Vengeance at longer distances.
** Alternatively, use armor piercing or wall break weapons to counter the shield.
* Try sticking to cover when the user fires on you, flank around him/her and quickly kill the user.
* Flank around the user using cover and then attack from their blindspots.
* Using throwing gadgets such as the Frag Grenade and throwing it behind or in front of the user can also counter the shield.
* Avoid attacking head on as the shield can protect against oncoming fire.
* It should be note that the shield is indestructible, and small arms fire cannot destroy the shield.
* Stealthy pick off the user when they have their shield down.
* When the user is behind cover, try flushing him/her using area damage weapons or weapons with faster fire rates.
* When using an area damage weapon, aim at the ground.
