Riot Shields Will Not Appear in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

In a surprising move, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will not feature the infamous Riot Shield. This is big news for the community, especially since the Riot Shield has long been a controversial piece of equipment. Some players love the strategic advantage it provides, while others feel it disrupts the flow of the game. So, what led to this decision?

No Riot Shield at Launch

The Riot Shield was known for turning players into nearly invincible tanks, absorbing bullets and explosions alike. It has been a staple since Modern Warfare 3, becoming both loved and hated. As noted by Treyarch and Raven Software, the Riot Shield will not be available in the list of 33 weapons at the launch of Black Ops 6. This decision likely comes from community feedback, where many fans have been vocal about their dislike for the Riot Shield.

The absence of the Riot Shield, at least at launch, appears to be a response to this feedback. Whether or not it makes a return later remains unclear. However, some players may still feel its absence is a big change

New Gameplay Features Instead

Though the Riot Shield is gone, there is still room for tactical gameplay. The new Omnimovement system allows players to hold enemies hostage and use them as human shields. This new feature might replace the strategic element the Riot Shield offered.

Do you think this was the right call by Treyarch and Raven Software? Or would you have preferred a simple redesign or nerf? Share your thoughts in the comments!
