What does the riot shield do

counter-strike

In CounterStrike 1.6, there is a riot shield available on purchase on the CS team.
Unfortunately, even though I use it to block, I still get damage from the enemies guns.

What does exactly the shield protect you from?

Best Answer

It does block bullets, so if you still get damaged, you probably don't use it correctly.

You should make sure that you are totally covered by it, so running and showing your back to an enemy would lead to shots in the back. Most probably. Also, don't forget that when you just use it, your legs(feet) are not covered by the shield, so enemies will probably shoot it. There are a few more things that you should keep in mind while using shield, but I do not remember them by heart anymore.
