The Shieldbearer is an enemy.
Overview[]
The Shieldbearers are equipped with ballistic shields and because of that, they are nearly invulnerable to direct attacks. Their armament consists of a handgun which they use by leaning out from behind the shield and a baton which they use in close quarters after knocking an opponent down with a shield hit. They charge toward players within 14 meters, if no player is within 14 meters of the shieldbearers, they will instead fire using their pistols. Their melee damage does not ignore armor points.
Tactics[]
A common tactic against these soldiers is to flank them thus bypassing their shield.
If you have been forced into direct confrontation with one of these soldiers, attempt to aim at the exposed body parts (shoulder, feet) which might slowdown or even stagger them, allowing the player to deliver a killing shot.
If you find yourself being chased by one of these you can run away. You can also throw a grenade at your feet as you are running. Completing this action will result in the shieldbearer turning around, leaving their back exposed.
The Medic & Engineer's Defibrillator/SED jumper can be used to bypass the shield and it is possible to avoid being knocked down by standing back to a wall.
An alternative way to evade the shieldbearer if they are chasing you is to reach higher ground, doing so will leave the shieldbearer unable to reach you as long as you stay up there. With this advantage, you can see behind their shield. They will keep chasing you, so it's best if you kill them. An example of this 'higher ground' is one of the plant patches in the 'White Shark' mission, more commonly known as The HQ.
As a medic, you can fire your shotgun at a shieldbearer's shield. Doing so will stagger the enemy, giving you the opportunity to kill them.
