The Ballistic Shield is back again. The handy shield weapon returns for another round of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies. It isn’t just a melee weapon in ‘Dead of the Night’, it’s also a gun and a back-protector. That makes it identical to the previous Ballistic Shields in previous maps like ‘Classified’ and ‘Voyage of Despair’ — it’s just as useful, and here, I’ll break down exactly where to find all the parts. That includes pictures in the gallery.
The Ballistic Shield is an alternate weapon you can access with [L1] / [LB]. It absorbs damage until it shatters — forcing you to go back to the crafting table and collect another one. It also has a small pistol you can load into the front slot and fire. When you’re not using it, it protects your back, making it pretty important if you’re running solo or trying to complete difficult Easter egg challenges.
