Zombie Shield

For other uses, see Shield.

The Zombie Shield is a weapon found in the Zombies maps TranZit, Mob of the Dead, Origins, and Zetsubou No Shima. In all appearances, it is a buildable that, once constructed, players can carry to defend themselves from the Zombie horde.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 the Zombie Shield was replaced with the Ballistic Shield and Riot Shield in the Chaos and Aether stories, respectively. Armor in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and subsequent releases serves a similar purpose.

Overview[]

The Zombie shield protects players from all damage to their front or back, depending on whether players are holding the Shield in their hands or storing it on their back. In either case, the Shield has a limited durability before it will break and have to be re-acquired from the workbench where it was constructed. Notably, the Zombie Shield will also deflect explosive damage, including self inflicted damage, to the player without penalty. In Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the Zombie Shield can be planted, much like the Assault Shield, creating an obstacle Zombies have to navigate around. This ability is not available in Zetsubo no Shima.

The Shield also has a melee attack where players bash the shield forward, but it is relatively weak and will lower the shield durability. the bash will kill a zombie with a single hit up until round 20. When using the shields melee, it does not generate any points for kills but it will give the player 10 points per zombie hit.

In TranZit, the shield occupies the inventory slot shared by equipment, and thus must be swapped with the Turbine, Sentry Turret, and Electric Trap, limiting it's effectiveness. In comparison, the shield is a far bigger asset in Mob of the Dead, Origins, and Zetsubo as it occupies an empty inventory slot.

Typically the shield portrayed in a Do-it-Yourself fashion, as the parts tend to be scavenged from the surrounding area. It is made of a handcart and car door found around the Diner in TranZit and parts found around the Docks in Mob of the Dead. In Origins the shield does seem more purpose built and only needs to be assembled. The same shield returns in Zetsubou No Shima, though it is now overgrown after seemingly having been forgotten at the Division 9 facility.

Electric Shield[]

In Zetsubou No Shima, it is possible to electrify the Zombie Shield once all players have completed three of their Trials of the Ancients. After doing so, the player must stand at the site of the Trials and hold out their Shield until lightning strikes the area. The electric shield can be used to electrify zombies, andcan also be used to reduce the price of Perk-a-Cola and GobbleGum machines to half.

Additionally, the Electric Shield can be used to power other machinery and utilities around the map:

The console for lowering the Cage in Lab A, when the special "red mist spider" is caught within it during the process to acquire the Wonder Weapon, Spider Bait.
The console for lowering the Cage in Lab B for obtaining the vial of Divinium used to upgrade the KT-4 into the Masamune.
The console for the Zipline, allowing players to melee off it when gathering cogs to repair the elevator during the Easter Egg, Seeds of Doubt.

Additional Shields[]

Additional, Wonder Weapon type shields can be found in various other maps. While they typically serve the same purpose as the Zombie Shield, they are usually imbued with other powerful abilities. All but the Decimator Shield are craftable.

Trivia[]

When the player builds the Zombie Shield in TranZit, they will push the pin down to lock the car door on the side of the shield. In Mob of the Dead, the character inserts a key into the cell door key slot.
The barbed wire seen on the shield in Mob of the Dead will appear layered above the smoke from Brutus' smoke grenades if the both the player and the smoke are close enough to shield itself.
