Assault Shield

"Ballistic-proof blunt shield weapon. Can be deployed on the ground as cover."

- Create-a-Class description.

The Assault Shield is a primary weapon featured in the game, Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It appears to function quite similarly to the Riot Shield of previous games with one major addition; the ability to plant the shield in the ground to serve as cover whilst switching to another weapon.

Campaign
The Assault Shield can be found in the mission Celerium. It can also be unlocked in the customize class section if the player beats five challenges in mission Odysseus.

Multiplayer
The Assault Shield is unlocked at rank 30. It is classified as a Special. The Assault Shield is fully destructible. If the player is holding the shield when the damage capacity is reached, they will die. If planted and the shield succumbs to damage, the shield will be destroyed. The Assault Shield can also kill opponents who carry the shield. If their shield is planted, five hits destroys the shield.

Usage Examples

 * Assault Shield can Kill Assault Shield Opponent
 * Assault Shield Versus Sticky Grenade

Zombies
An improvised Assault Shield can be used in one of the zombie maps in TranZit. It appears under the name, "Zombie Shield."

When using the shield, it does not generate any points, and will kill zombies. It will kill in a single hit up until very high rounds, when it will take multiple bashes to send zombies flying. When in a player's inventory, it will sit on their back and render attacks from behind ineffective. The shield can be planted to distract zombies.

It is made of a:

Car Door

Hand Trolley
