Using the riot shield in extinction mode of COD: Ghosts

call-of-duty-ghosts

In extinction mode, how can I put riot shield on my back to protect myself from the attacks behind after purchasing the shield?

Best Answer

First you have to buy the riot shield (dpad on xbox and playstation), then switch weapon. Then you'll have your weapon out and the riot shield on your back.

Usually I just put it on my back, but I think you can switch back to the riot shield by pressing the purchase button.

EDIT: I played some Extinction recently and tested this out.
I performed the following to get the shield out:
1. Purchase it
2. Use it once (shield bash)
3. Switch weapons

You can then switch back to the riot shield by cycling through weapons.
