When Riot Shields were first added to Call of Duty in the original Modern Warfare 2, they provided some fun for players. They gave you some protection and a way to bash players away, but they weren\u2019t incredibly overpowered. Over the last few years, however, that has certainly changed. The Riot Shields have created big issues in Warzone, for example, leading to players getting furious about campers and slow-playing players using them to their advantage. As a result, they\u2019ve constantly been on the lookout for counters. One came in Season 2 Reloaded, as the Soulrender sword now slices through the Riot Shield. However, that requires getting up close and personal with a Riot Shield. MW3 players want long-range counter for Riot Shields So, players are urging the devs to make a change for those who\u2019d rather keep a bit of distance between themselves and a Riot Shield, as they want Armor Piercing Rounds to receive a buff. \u201cMake these penetrate the Riot Shield, problem solved,\u201d one player suggested. \u201cI would be happy for anything to penetrate that rat shield,\u201d another added. \u201cThey barely penetrate the cover they advertise, I mean at least give them an actual purpose,\u201d another player said, wanting the Armor Piercing Rounds to just have some use. \u201cI always thought it was dumb that AP rounds could go through container walls in Shipment, but not the shield,\u201d another chimed in. While the devs haven\u2019t been all that quick to add counters for the Riot Shield, they have shown a willingness to make changes \u2013 especially in the face of complaints. It remains to be seen if they\u2019ll take heed of this suggestion from players, it is something that would be certainly interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Warfare 3 players demand more Riot Shield counters despite lethal new weapon Activision BlizzardModern Warfare 3 and Warzone players are still desperate for yet another counter to Riot Shields despite Season 2 Reloaded bringing about one of the biggest counters in some time.
