Well-Aimed Headshots - The Cerberus Guardian's riot shield has a view slit right at head level, and you can shoot through the slit and score headshots if you've got good aim and an accurate weapon. In multiplayer, armor-piercing rounds can be purchased at the store and equipped on the 'Equipment' screen. The M-98 Widow, Black Widow, and Javelin sniper rifles have armor-piercing rounds by default (no ammo or mods necessary). Sometimes they seem to block the initial hit, but as soon as they move at all, they get caught in the bubble trap and the shield falls.Īrmor Piercing Ammo / Piercing Mods / Widow, Black Widow, and Javelin Sniper Rifles - Ammo, mods, and weapons that provide an armor-piercing capability allow you to fire THROUGH a riot shield (and other light cover).

Stasis Bubble - Stasis Bubble (level 6 stasis upgrade) will cause an enemy to drop their shield. Pull - Grabs the shield out of an enemy's hands, leaving them exposed.
