    I often find I will be getting shot from behind by someone, so I will press the hotkey for my shield and turn around so they can't hurt me. However I cant see their name and call kos on whoever is shooting me. I think because you cant see peoples names through the shield is why few use it. So my suggestion is to allow us to see names through the shield, agree?

  2. I think most people don't use the riot shield because after 30 seconds of holding it the object clips into you making it easy to kill you.

    I think that'd be a bit unfair tho, having an immunity to bullets and also being able to see the person shooting.

    i dont think so, because its pretty easy to kill you even with the shield, and you cant shoot

    But you can boop the enemy off an edge (on certain maps) and the boop disorients players too.

    That is extremely situational and doesnt have much to do with seeing the names, which is important as a detective
     
  6. I think maybe other people could help you out if you were getting shot at too lol

    There arnt always people around to help. This is why name calling is an important thing you need to be able to do as a detective, which you cant do while wielding a riot shield

    Turn around, get a glimpse at them. Then press V and then spam your callout key too.

    This isn't possible IIRC. The Riot Shield is a prop and you can't see names through props.
