Major CoD Vanguard bug makes Combat Shield completely worthless ActivisionA major bug in Call of Duty: Vanguard is making the Combat Shield completely pointless to use in multiplayer \u2013 seeing bullets pass through it as if it\u2019s not even there. A game of Call of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s size was bound to launch with a few bugs and glitches; some more frustrating and invasive than others. We\u2019ve already seen some pretty noticeable issues with spawns, instant-death spots and more, but one bug surrounding the Combat Shield probably tops them all. Combat Shields \u2013 probably known to most of the CoD player base as Riot Shields \u2013 allow players to essentially act as a barricade, blocking enemy bullets and forcing them to find another way to eliminate you. When swapped out for a secondary, the shields typically give protection on a player\u2019s back. At least in theory. Players who have used the Combat Shield in Vanguard have noticed that it does not provide protection when it is in the secondary position. This is a fairly major bug, seeing next to no benefit of using it in anyway other than to have it constantly equipped. Pulling out a secondary will leave you woefully exposed. It was picked up on by Redditor \u2018fpsdredd\u2018, who shared clips showing it failing to block bullets when clearly present on a player\u2019s back. Plenty of players actually responded positively to the bug, joking that Combat Shield users don\u2019t deserve the extra protection. Regardless of popular opinion, it seems inevitable that the issues are down to a bug, and that Sledgehammer will want to deploy a quick fix to sort the problems and make sure the Combat Shield is usable. When the fixes come \u2013 and we\u2019re sure they will \u2013 we can\u2019t argue for their popularity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
