So... Anyone using a Riot Shield?

I think it needs a huge buff... I mean the wooden one is the best to use. I also like the Metal one but not sure if its worth the repair cost coz it's basically 3 wooden shields and the Riot Shield is only double durability of Metal shield but costs a ton of expensive resources to repair it.

Personally I think the metal shield could do with a slight buff, and the Riot shield needs a massive buff to make it viable.

Metal one is the only one I tested, but wooden one would be the best since it's easy repair materials.
I hope shields change combat for the better!

metal takes a lot of dmg before you need to repair and it isn't that hard. you can keep your wood shield.. the metal one will never leave my hands. :)

Yeah... Im sorting leaning on it's ok'sh but only after a couple of fights even against snakes the metal shield is bound to break. The Riot shield only lasts 2X as long as the metal and costs a ton of expensive polymer, cementing paste and crystals to repair it. Ridiculous.

It might only be for PVP though so dunno. But I wouldn't bother equipping a Riot in the wild.

6 hits with a sword for the metal one to break and 7 shots from an advanced sniper . Just 6 hits for 45 weight, i dont think is worth it nevermind the cost of repair. (metal shield)

I use a riot shield. I love the thing. Once you got all the dino's to gather the stuff you need for it, it's no big deal. It's not like all I do is use it, but when I do it's awesome. And getting mats is part of the game. I refuse to build a metal base and don't pvp, and don't use/make guns. So the riot shield and Compound bow are really my only cement paste/polymer needs. Definitely worth it on both accounts.

My riot shield was perfect for pissing off my tribe leader when he found out that I used all those mats to make one.

I prefer using a riot shield. It provides the best visibility and is lighter then the metal shield. More expensive but a better investment in my opinion.

I use both metal and wood. I play on a no tame server so the shield are my best friend, use metal for mountains and the wood one on beaches
