THE FINALS Riot Shield Guide, Tips, Tricks and Highlights with Actual Gameplay

The Riot Shield and Baton in THE FINALS needs better guides. Here's my attempt at letting you grow as a Riot Shield Medium. The best tip and trick for the Riot Shield is to make the distance and not lose momentum by using the slide or, if you're good enough, the Ayam Shield Slide.

btw to all youre fans thinking youre such a good guy n that. i played a game with him and my friend guys hes the biggest liar of all time. first of all he claim he is plat well hes silver 4 and all that no swearing doesnt matter when he called me and my friend slaves and was afk the entire ranked tournament. basicly he trolled the game on purpese

[@Playam]

Pinning this to expose a butthurt racist and his friend. They got their just desserts.

[@Nzkldkn]

@@Playam we litterally have it on clip?

[@Playam]

Keep the clip where you start things off by being incredibly racist, Islamophobic and arrogant, I am proud of my reaction and hope you both will grow. Context is key, good luck maturing.

[@maltzel490]

@@Playam tbh i believe them, you like playing riot shield so you like being a rat already, the rest doesnt sound far off

[@Playam]

Thanks for voicing your opinion, many will be free to disagree with the incredible projection.

[@user-sb6cn3jx9j]

Strong flashbang tech, when lights start quick dashing around you underhand toss a flash at your feet to break their rhythm

[@RayTheFloofyBoi]

with the riot shield, to catch up to the lights you can periodically jump to give yourself a speedboost

[@uguburo-minecraft2668]

Sipline is also very useful since u can easily get up to an enemy from long distance

[@k.n.thompson7908]

Incredibly helpful! I definitely underutilize the flashbang, but it certainly seems like a great combo!

[@Playam]

To me, it's all about the slide when chasing, it's so enjoyable! Goo plays a close second, flashy flash third, and a mobility aid for the final slot. Enjoy, glad to hear someone out there'll be smashing it with these techniques!

[@k.n.thompson7908]

@@Playam Honestly sliding is the least used mechanic that I play with. I'll miss an entire weekly challenge that's just "Damage opponents while sliding" because I never use it. This'll definitely make me focus on it more

[@Playam]

Fantastic, use it in the chase when they turn around to pepper you, throws them off massively and keeps up with them beautifully. Good fighting Riot Knight!

[@zephaniahcordova4033]

smart player and chill vibe, thats a rare gamer to find these days 😎

[@Playam]

Thank you brother, keep enjoying the game!

[@feanryrdragonson3728]

Yo riot main here. If the shield is in your hand you do not set off mines, and if it's held up sometime (it's glitchy) it will remove the mine off the field as well.

[@Playam]

Good tip, I hardly use the mine hoover but that's my short sightedness. Thank you!

[@Razersword1023]

I believe that you are a good person @ayam

[@Playam]

I'm all right, thank you, have a great eve.

[@bruvski6216]

Very useful bro ! Thanks !!

[@Skal3t]

Thanks for the video, very informative

[@AitoMolo]

Shield gang!!!!! Thanks! I love that you close the video with a fail haha

[@Playam]

Thanks for watching to the end, gang :) that last clip might be another lesson that actually the guy I was pursuing may have shot the mines rather than me landing on them, which can be tricky to avoid. More to learn, always!

[@morgancongedo4107]

Level 6 shield main here, I'm sorry to say but the shield is the worst weapon in the game even with all these tricks that I also use plus more it's still incredibly hard to do good, unless you play against idiots you'll never do well in a sweat lobby

[@Playam]

Against meta it's very beta, I agree, at Platinum rank I had to put it to the side. Sad to see it gathering dust on the mantlepiece.

[@morgancongedo4107]

@@Playam we can hope season 2 brings some good buff to it

[@Playam]

Only a few days to go, here's hoping buffs and a cool imaginative skin!

[@pyoidz]

@@Playam I mean this in a nice way but I think it's just how you're playing. I got to Diamond using basically only the riot shield, you're not running defib which is already considered throwing in the current meta. Also castling is one of the most important tricks with the shield, and you don't mention or use it at all in this video. Also also, you aren't quick meleeing heavies even though you listed it as a tip, and most of your attacks just seem to be wildly swinging without much thought. You keep swinging when the enemy is 2 meters in front of you, obviously not able to reach him and you're just slowing yourself down which is not what you want when using shield. To put it simply, the shield isn't the problem, your skill is.

[@Playam]

I mean this in a nice way, thanks for the tips. 🙄

[@JAJA-sr3nk]

Playing riot shield feels like what dagger should feel like

[@Playam]

I kind of see what you're saying, dagger user is much more high risk high reward up close and feels like it should have at least a bit more survivability. Such is the life of a Light. 😅

[@JAJA-sr3nk]

@@Playam I just feel like a serial killer

[@Playam]

Gotcha, I'll be on this side of the jail bars 😀

[@princessholmes8960]

How I put the riot shield up

[@Playam]

Lots of practice (right click on PC).

[@chid2196]

We should so do a double lvl 6 riot shield at some point just to be silly.

[@Playam]

Can do, I'm a bit rusty on it because I want my aim back so trying to make the revolver work. If you join the discord there are shouts for playing THE FINALS there about once per week. You'll probably put me to shame, looking forward to it!

[@GLITCHEDGLORY.]

bro that first clip the throwing knife use SUCKED+ and so dids the sword user I have kill so many riot shield user with the sword and only dieing to a roit shiedl 1 out of 75 times but thios giude was helpfull so thank you

[@Playam]

Sword users who know how to blade-ballet are very difficult to deal with. Props to you guys, I wish the shield had some consistency in blocking to have a cooler duel.

[@GLITCHEDGLORY.]

@@Playam Yah I tried the roit shiled and the closing distance NEEDS TO BE FIXED rather make it so THE SECODERY FIRE IS BETTER THAN NOT DOING ANITHING AND JUST TURNING LEFT OR just get speed boost

[@Idle_isAFK]

Can you turn off auto melee aim?

[@Playam]

Nope, unfortunately not to my knowledge, it will sometimes grab your aim from one intended target to another when up against 2 :(
