Viking Riotshield

The Viking Riotshield is an SMG/Riotshield combination that Riot Guard starts with. Whilst it has a fairly limited supply of ammo, it can significantly increase survivability early on, at the cost of reduced move speed.

Dashing into enemies with it equipped will inflict damage and a short-duration stun.

In Arena, it can be purchased for Riot Guard as a Series 1 weapon.

The abbreviation for this weapon is 'RS.'

Trivia

 * This weapon is based on the SR-3 Vikhr, a Russian compact assault rifle.
 * The description seems to be a reference to the Youtuber SsethTzeentach, as he describes the shield as a "piece of plastic," and jokes about being able to destroy the Hover Tank 808 enemy with it.
