Few tips I learned while playing Riot Shield.

Riot Shield Tips

Сrеdit gоеs to Dandelion!

Put your turret in an object and carry it around with you. When a fight starts chuck your turret at them and it should start firing right away. You can shield up, while they get shredded by your turret and if they try to shoot your turret, run at them like a maniac.

I could be wrong, but the attack recovery for the shield is super slow. You can weave between Left Click and melee to compensate for the recovery time for additional DPS (e.g. Baton Swing -> Melee -> Baton Swing -> Melee). The timing is tricky, but try it in the training room.

I typically switch to Riot Shield when there’s an aim bot cheater in the lobby. Every time I hold the shield up, they can’t seem to get accurate hits on me anymore. I think its because their aim bot is going for my head, but obviously a shield blocks that.

Probably obvious, but you can block doors with your riot shield.
You can hold up your shield while rappelling.
Don’t be afraid to defend allies who’s being shot at with your shield.
