“Dual use; protects against damage, and bashes opponents in front as a melee weapon.”
The Riot Shield is a Medium build exclusive melee weapon that combines a large shield and a baton. Whilst holding the shield it is near impossible to hit the wielder and as soon as they are within melee range, a baton can be used to club down the opponent. In the current meta (CB 2023) the Riot Shield is considered the least viable melee option of all the builds.
Strengths and Weaknesses
The Riot Shield's strength solely consists out of the blocking potential and the crowd controlling that it brings. It is very weak against other melee weapons such as the Sledgehammer and Sword, whilst also not protecting against a backstab.
