Patch history

The ’s surface cannot become transparent with some transparent wraps (e.g. Glass, Plastic, Bubble, Crystallized, Cursed, or Vexed wraps). Instead, it's only shows a solid color. Skins like Door, Energy Shield, Masterpiece, and Sled for the also can’t be made transparent. Only the window on the Hinder Sight can be transparent, but not the shield’s surface. This prevents confusion during fights, as an invisible shield might make opponents think the player isn’t taking damage, which was seen as an exploit. However, there is a bug where the enemy player’s weapon won’t show, and thus making an invisible Riot Shield glitch possible. This bug was patched in Update 17. is based off Ballistic Shields in real life. Interestingly, Riot Shields in real life are different from the in Roblox Rivals. It can be used to climb the crane safely in Construction. Certain skins—specifically the Door, Energy Shield, Sled, and Masterpiece—offer a larger viewing window than the default Riot Shield skin. The Door and Energy Shield provide the most significant visibility advantage.
