This time, we're covering the Assault Shield.
Essentially Treyarch's version of the Riot Shield as introduced in Modern Warfare 2, the Assault Shield is unlocked at level 34.
Ballistic shields capable of repelling small arms fire do exist, although most are only effective against lower-energy rounds such as those fired by handguns, SMGs and shotguns.
The greater the protection, the more unwieldy a shield will be: while it is possible to stop high-powered rifle rounds, such a high degree of armour would be prohibitively heavy to carry.
Modern materials have helped to lighten the load, however - while early ballistic shields were constructed of basic sheet metal, modern designs take better advantage of newer materials such as kevlar and ceramics for maximum protection and lower overall weight.
In-game, the Assault Shield is a mêlée weapon with reach similar to that of the Combat Knife.
Unlike the knife, however, the Shield will require two bashes to kill an uninjured opponent.
Of course, the shield is more suited to absorbing damage than dishing it out - it will block any bullets that strike it while held, and will even block some shots from the rear while you are holding your secondary weapon.
In addition, you can plant the shield on the ground to serve as deployable cover - although it will disintegrate upon sufficient incident damage, leaving you without protection.
Attack speed is slightly slower than that of the combat knife, with each bash taking approximately three quarters of a second - or 80 bashes per minute.
While quick enough to tackle an unaware enemy, the need to land two bashes can make your life difficult against a more active opponent, particularly if they are wielding a weapon effective in closer quarters.
Handling is relatively slow: switch times can be inconveniently sluggish, taking a full second to switch to another weapon.
Fast Hands will alleviate this a little, but nonetheless this lapse in protection can prove a liability.
Movement speed is slow too, on par with the LMGs at 90% of the base mobility.
Thankfully, the shield requires neither ammunition nor reload to use - you can bash as often as you like without pause.
Should your allies make good use of your cover, you can help support their advance on an objective - and with their help you can put paid to your opponent's momentum.
The Assault Shield is a weapon like none other, and when employed correctly can swing objective games through its complete denial of your opponent's fire.
It can render an enemy sniper entirely useless, and at any reasonable range even most automatic weapons will struggle to penetrate your defence - this can open a window to breaking through a tough spawn trap, and gradually force open your enemy's vice-like grip.
Deploying the shield as mobile cover can open up new firing positions, too - an impromptu defensive point can prove surprisingly effective when equipping the shield with another primary weapon via the Overkill wildcard.
As an offensive weapon the Assault Shield falls woefully short, however - with its minuscule range, two hit bash, and extreme vulnerability to automatic fire in close-range gunfights, you'll quickly learn the shield is simply not effective in an aggressive role.
You'll find frustration in your enemy's seeming ability to bypass your defences, and the poor lethality of the shield's bash attack will render you all but helpless in close quarters battle.
Still, the Assault Shield is a support tool first and foremost, and its use as an offensive weapon should be limited where possible.
Nothing else can directly thwart enemy fire, and with a dose of teamwork the shield can prove its worth in objective game modes.
With this bulwark you might deflect your opponent's attack, your aegis a bulletproof guarantee that your time with the shield...
...is sure to be a bash. - Hry
This is the ultimate troll weapon. I remember being in a lobby against two guys running a Riot Shield loadout with Flak Jacket, Tac Masks, and stuns. I called em the Bash'em Brothers.
wow very troll.
ShadowBaofu Super smash bros
I use a similar loadout in MW3, it's so freaking fun in domination matches with everyone trying to flush you out but can't kill you.
ShadowBaofu hahahahah this is hilarious
I remember using a troll class before I fresh restarted
Riot shield, c4, tac mask, flat jacket, dual tac 45, scavenger and fast hands

+Ridhwan Ramzi Hes not because when you play on bots mode everybody's level is one. But here there is a different range
He's just insanely good.
He has ridiculous game knowledge. Kinda makes everyone look like an idiot
4400+ riot shield kills Hardcore TDM & Hardcore Confirm Kill . now I'm hacked / finished?
You can block narrow doors with the shield so it's good for room security
hey papa m3rk
jesus how are you everywhere also hi son
WTF
it turns out you can't block narrow doors it wont let you
@@KingMasterKing which i really hate
Just caught this, sad I didn't watch this back in 2013! The production values behind these videos have been wild.
I loved using the shield. My class back in the day used C4 instead of the axe and akimbo KAPs. I'd block things and then when the opportunity provided itself blew them up or KAP'd them.
...I still remember the hate messages on Xbox Live.
How in the world does Stu have the shield in gold?
This man is ridiculous. xD
I have it diamond, at the cost of 2 controllers and my k/d

I just unlocked target finder with the assault shield
ha! this weapon doesn't have any attachments
ha! i got rapid fire and long barrel.
David Campbell sarcasm
@@walter8457 R/Whooosh
we all need a suppressor as well
Of all your BLOPS2 in-depths, this one is my favorite. Something about seeing all those campers getting ninja-flanked by a guy using the shortest-range weapon in the game that just warms my heart.
With the OP stats of the guns in Black ops 2 Treyarch should made a Tactical Knife Attachment for Assault Shield
So just massive blade taped to the front? I like it!
Corey506 Nah. Remember they carry the shield with one arm. Why can't they have a knife in another arm?
Corey506 Fix bayonets!
MrPathorn or a pistol in the other arm
***** you wouldn't be able to aim you know. And also the riot shield isn't very useful anyway so it could be a pistol attachment.
since the riot shield takes 2 hits to kill = 50% each hit does this mean that in hardcore its a 1 hit kill? since you only have 30% health
Yes it is. Watch out for friendlies in front so you don't get a friendly fire.
ok thnx now for the best thing ever search and destroy in hardcore with a riot shield >:D
It does 70% percent damage but its still a one hit kill in hardcore
ye u are right
he has the loadout of tiago the spartan beast
8:16 hahaha ahoy shield vs ahoy shield xD
From the weapons you have all ready done guides for, which was been the easiest to gild. Thanks
This class and the knife only class have been my favorite videos. I cant wait to see your reviews when Ghost comes out this year.
cod ghost is my favourite call of duty game. WaW is the worst game ever made
gj on the class setup, I actually had close to the same loadout. I've been using assault/riot shield since mw2.
also 1:47, he went flying!!
+Austin Gordon 8:05 too XD
+TheUKNutter lol
Lol my troll class
Assault Shield
2x EMP
2x Concussion

Perk 2 Greed
Fast Hands

A nice, light-hearted episode...much like the weapon itself. Good selection of humorous clips, funny pun...and that related weapon.
This is the best choice you've ever made for the Related Weapon section. Although I believe the Euro Trucks definitely beat the Assault Shield in damage that can be dealt.
True skill 4:34
zach bland no true skill at 8:21
J.T. Rayborn no 4:53
This guy is pretty badass
I needed this thanks so much
Stu, I think you were spot on with the related weapon this week.
finally, a weapon that is actually closely related. thank you!
Anybody saw that concussion freaking out at 4:19? XD
Interesting didn't notice it
I have always noticed it but I didn't think anyone else did
That last clip chasing the guy with the XBOX AHOY shield, classic!
Professional review. Nicely done.
this guy is a pro. he merks with any weapon..
this guys got a sweet ass voice
I love this dudes whole vibe and voice every time I watch one of these vids I gotta go play asap
Also usefull when you have overkill and this as a secondary. Protects your back pretty well. Saved me lots
Related weapon, Eurotruck Sim 2.......
i see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
4:20 glitched out flashbang on ramp
Dude u sound so professional thts a compliment!!!:)
Watching these videos makes want to play this game!
Your voice of amazing
This did not help.
They just jump over me.
When you attacked in the video they stood still, when I tried they were practically no-clipping.
Their bullets went straight through the shield. (I WASN'T SPRINTING!)
ITS LIKE I DONT EVEN HAVE A SHIELD AT ALL!
Maybe you have a low sensitivity and can't turn fast enough?
+BrandonTrex maybe you are a noob
IKR?
+noobest11 or maybe peeps just show gameplay of single kills and died 90% of the time
+Elite Reticle my sensitivity is 8. That's high
The attachments that I can imagine for the shield are possibly "extended shield sides" to better cover you while holding it and "Lethal spikes" to get a one-smack-kill (I'm interested to see what other people have in mind).
Maybe a motion sensor like cod ghost and fast deploy
And a trophy system with only 1 - 2 uses
Love the related weapon choice
how many levels in one prestige for this Assault shield ????
Plz help me
+Quentin Adriaens 6
THANKS !!!!
No problem bro :)

RIOT SHEILD MAN
I recently watched a video from you MW2 series, and I must say you have improved quite a lot in both writing structure and voice recording. What parts of your production set-up have you changed since then?
Darn you're good with the combat axe. Also i was womdering have you comsidered doing scprestreak guides?
I usually use the assault shield to defend myself while waiting for aircraft for me to shoot down.
yeah me too like the drones
Come back with your shield, or on it.
this helped me so mutch
still one of my fav weapons in CoD. Just feel so badass when using it
A real spartan
xd
Sgt.Crane a spartan beast here
I actually found my time with the shield to be quite effective. Use as deploy-able cover is actually incredibly useful, though I understand your approach of using the shield as a primary weapon. When used in multiples with a coordinates team (either as a primary or holding a position while setting the shield up) the game is fun for you and has provided me with games 75-9 and similar in a team death match scenario.
Just found this channel, great job in your analysis. I wish you had mentioned the use of c4 as a lethal, the fact that they cannot be placed in doorways, trapping, and increased emblem size.
Nice reccomended weapon Stu.
Nice throwing skills!
Love the kills at 4:53 & 8:21. Great episode.
i find them really helpful, and interesting.
Hey Stu, I've got 2 questions for you:
1. If you've tried it what do you think of Australian Beer? And how does it compare to European Beer?
2. Will you be covering the iron sights for the ballista in your attachment guides?
Good stuff.
Some nice combat axe kills there too BTW.
8:09 That moment..
Wow some nice hawk kills there stu. You would make a fine apache.
I used the overkill wildcard and the primary gunfighter wildcard so I could pair this with the 870, using the fast mags, long barrel, and laser sight attachments. I used scavenger, lightweight, and extreme durability to stay highly mobile without running out of ammo. It was a great close quarters set up and I certainly got more kills in game than I probably should have.
That was a hell of a way to finish the camo challenges.
Hey stu, you must do an tomahawk weapon guide.... you so good!!!!
Love how this time Stu put the gold camo in the loadout screen, just to let us know by Jove he actually did it! Hero.
Last thing concerning perks, the first 2 games made hardline the ideal perk for the shield. You knew you would get low kills but you would tank a lot so by getting streaks earlier you provide more help to team. This was especially true in MW3 when assists counted towards streaks. As a riot shielder you could play one of there roles easily: distraction, attacker, or both.
Lastly, contrary to Ahoy gameplay the best bet would be to switch weapons more to your kap and use C4.
Never even played BO2. I just like the way this guy talks about video game weapons
You managed to make this video last 9 minutes? Kudos stu, kudos.
It's those puns at the end that make me a subscriber..
haha i like those catchy ending lines on all the videos from this series :)
I'm liking this because I applaud your patience in getting that stupid thing gold. You need to tell us how long it took in the bonus footage.
that last line was killer
hey Stewart, have you ever thought about using gameplay for a certain weapon for your weapon guides?
Stu, why are you such a beast with combat axes, how did you learn to do so well?
The gameplay he puts up are mainly his highlights of using the shield. In his Pun montage (or Puntage if you will) I believe he acually shows his overall K/D with the shield.
Awesome commentary! Sounds like a animal documentary. Explaining how cool the animal is.
related weapon.... brilliant!!!
2 shield players battling is the best thing I've ever witnessed
I love your use of vocabulary !
I'm pretty sure it doesn't break after planting unless you die. Drift0r made a video about it. I could be wrong though! Thanks for the awesome videos!
I love how the related weapon is Eurotrucker.
Although, it seems to fit vey well. XD
try using the SVU, it a good weapon for sniping, once you embrace the spam over the 1 shot kill. I just got it gold a few weeks back, it wasn't hard at all. Just don't worry about getting 1 shot kills, and they come in time, especially if you move with your team. Of course, you should stand a bit behind them, so you don't zoom in and can't see what you're aiming at.
An added feature of the shield is that it is possible to clear any cracked glass that obstructs your view by placing the shield down and picking it back up.
Hey stu have u ever think about using other weapons against (example) a Assault Shield to show how to use it effectively
How he managed to make a 9 min video out of this I don't know. But congrats to him to make it so good
Hilarious to see someone else running with Ahoy's shield.
Holy crap Stu.. You're amazing with throwing knives /:
Oh my God..! ur Voice...! It Was Really Helpful...!Awesome...!
I laughed my head off when he said " 80 bashes per minute " 😂😂
A truck as a related weapon? I like it!
Stu, for the upcoming COD Ghosts game, perhaps you should do the weapon guides only for the weapons that will be the most "popular". This will, I believe, allow you to do other things with your channel. What do you think? Also, what do you think about the GTA Series? Which is your favorite? Mine is San Andreas :)
The default setting would be easier for melee attacks. For tactical, the melee button is B and for default, the melee button is pushing in the left stick allowing faster melee attacks.
Question I've been asking for a while: Did you play any sports in college/highschool/middle? I played basketball and tennis in middle and highschool and loved it!
Spikes, placed of the front of the shield that makes damage 100/1 hit kill
that also removes the ability to place the shield on the ground.
This will help me
About time the ksg! What would be your recommended built
he's doing them in unlock order, so it's either coming June 14th or 21st, depending on whether or not he does the KAP-40 before the Ballista
I use nothing in my class sometimes but perks and grenades, and then grab guns from the ground and use those. This is a bit dangerous, but it allows you to use zero pick 10 slots for your primary and secondary.
Stu, what was the most difficult weapon that you have ever covered in a guide?
i see in some of the last clips there your shield had been picked up :P saw your logo on it. If it plays at all like the shield in mw2 then you were probably annoying the other team a bit too. congrats on a painful to use weapon done. :D
I use the shield primarily with the combat axe, scavenger, fast hands, flak jacket, concussion grenade, and tactical mask. Then I put a tape on my screen to act as crosshair for the axe. :D
