The Return Of The Riot Shield

According to numerous sources, the riot shield had been found within Black Ops Cold War but after further investigation, it was revealed that players had modified the game for it to be seen in the game.

Despite the false information, an assault shield has been found within the files of the game.

Assault Shield Release Date

Although the video above sees the assault shield in action and the files have been present in the game for the past few months, it is unclear as to when players will be able to get their hands on the new piece of equipment.

With the mid-season update on the horizon, there is every chance that we will see the shield added.

Considering the purpose of the assault shield, it is likely to be added as a brand-new Field Upgrade which will add some much-needed variety to what is currently available.
