    Riot Shield and LMG (PS4)

    Last night I was in the DZ with my squad when we came up against a group that went rogue. They killed my squad, and when we went back to confront them, one of the rogues had a Riot Shield equipped and was shooting what looked like an M60. Last time I checked when using the Riot Shield, only a pistol can be equipped.

    Probably his buddy crouching behind him firing over his shoulder.

    Cant be done, there was the Frontline gear set that was suppose to allow you to use an smg with the shield, but that got scrapped.

    Got footage that shows the guy with the riot shield moving around and shooting his LMG

    I am well aware of Frontline, which only allowed SMG's being used, but this was not an SMG

    I will be uploading a clip to YouTube when I get home from work today. I will post the link when it is uploaded.

    Hey, I would greatly appreciate the footage. This is not an intended mechanic, although it may just be a visual display issue which we've seen reports of.

    Gabe from what I saw both the Riot Shield and the LMG were working, he was taking less damage and still dealing damage. I went up against them twice, but only saved the clip of the first encounter.

    One thought that came up on Reddit is that it could be a resurrection of the original glitch from the beta that allowed for primary weapons to be used with Riot Shields.
