The UBS-4 Riot Shield is a ballistic shield that's capable of deflecting or stopping most incoming rounds from pistols and rifles for a limited time. Since you are unable to fire back with one of your weapons while equipped with the Riot Shield, it's really only useful for getting from point A to point B without getting hurt. However, if you find yourself right next to an enemy with the shield, you should feel free to smash his head in with the thing, but that's pretty weak and generally ineffective; the smash function is there so that you can bump someone the hell out of your way if you're in a hurry to ditch the action in favor of some recuperation. Not a single person throughout the game will use the Riot Shield against you.

• Primary Fire: Swing Shield.
• Alternate Fire: Not applicable.
• Pros: Not much.
• Cons: Not being able to use the shield in conjunction with other weapons is a total crock. The swing is also ridiculously weak and mostly useless. Believe it or not it also doesn't even seem to protect that well either. A good concept, but they blew the delivery big time. It's easily the worst weapon in the game.
• Recommendation: Check it out just to see what it looks like, then switch away and never go back.
