The Body Shield is a new feature introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It allows you to use your opponents as meat shields and absorb bullets. This guide will cover how to use the Body Shield and how to counter it in Call of Duty Black Ops 6.
How to Use Body Shield in Black Ops 6
To use Body Shield in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you must get behind the enemy player and press the melee button twice. You will see the option when you get close to the enemy from behind. You can also hold the melee button to perform a Finishing Move, but it will execute the enemy, and you won’t be able to use their body as a shield.
This is great to use when you’re in a tight spot and want to stop incoming bullets from enemies. You can use one of the enemy’s bodies as a shield and get out of the situation. However, there is a short timer on the body shield, and after that, it will be of no use. You can then use Quick Kill or Execute them. Doing the latter will perform a finishing move, so make sure you are at a spot where no other enemies are nearby to stop the execution.
You can move around when you have an enemy in your lock and shoot your gun, but the movement speed will be slow, and the gun’s bullet accuracy will not be accurate. If you have a melee weapon equipped when you use the Body Shield, the movement speed will be much faster than while holding a gun.
You can also talk to the enemy if you have Proximity Chat enabled and hear them through their mic. Send them a message or hear them giving callouts to their teammates.
How to Counter Body Shield in Black Ops 6
To counter enemies with a body shield, aim at their head or feet and shoot to kill the enemy and help your teammate be free. There is no other way to counter this feature other than waiting for your teammate to eliminate the enemy holding you. In the meantime, have a lovely talk with them or call for your teammate to get there before you get killed or executed.
And that is all you need to know about the new Body Shield feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. If you want to rub more salt on enemies you used this feature on, then you should know how to emote in Black Ops 6.
