Riot Gear is a weapons set containing a Riot Shield and Nightstick found exclusively in Dead Rising 2: Case West.
The normal attack for this weapon is a single strike with the Nightstick and can be chained up to 2 attacks to include two shield bash variants. The Heavy attack for this weapon is a shield charge and bash which can be useful in 'Making way' in narrow spaces.
The shield while in aim mode will help block incoming bullets to a degree but decreases the life of the item. Frank or Chuck can strike at enemies when they close to them.
