CoD Vanguard fans demand serious weapon buffs to counter Riot Shields Call of Duty: Vanguard players are growingly increasingly furious about players using Riot Shields and are demanding the devs add more counters to them. For years, the Riot Shield has been one of the most annoying things to encounter in Call of Duty. When equipping the Riot Shield, players can use it to avoid being shot in the back \u2013 as it deflects bullets \u2013 or use it to charge at you headfirst. In many situations, you\u2019re not left with a lot of options to counter a Riot Shield, especially if the enemy is running a class that nullifies grenade damage. The shields have, again, been a source of anger in CoD Vanguard, with many people deeming them to be a little too strong. So, they want the devs to start tweaking a few things. On November 26, Vanguard player and Reddit user youbuildbob started a thread on Vanguard\u2019s subreddit. The player asked that the devs make improvements to FMJ that would counter Riot Shields. \u201cEvery game there are turtles running around the map with the shield on their back,\u201d said the frustrated player. \u201cIf there\u2019s no movement penalty to have the shield on their back, FMJ should at least shoot through it and give some damage.\u201d While other players acknowledged that more counters to Riot Shields are needed, some think a buff for Armor Piercing would be more beneficial than an FJM buff. \u201cI\u2019d rather they put this buff on Armor Piercing,\u201d said Mii_On_My_Wii. \u201cIt\u2019s a far more niche ammo type than FMJ and would give it more of a purpose.\u201d However, while some were with the idea of more ways around Riot Shields, one player thinks there are already enough counters. \u201cIf you can\u2019t counter people primarying it [Riot Shields] I\u2019m sorry but you should probably just get good,\u201d they added. Since Call of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s launch on November 5, players have demanded quite a lot of buffs and nerfs to various weapons, as well as other changes. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see if Sledgehammer Games takes the calls on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
