One of the coolest additions in Black Ops 6 is called the “Human meat shield” that lets you sneak behind an enemy and use them as a human shield for them to take damage instead of you.
At the CoD Next, the devs also revealed that while using this human shield feature you will be able to enter proximity chat, allowing you to talk one-on-one with your hostage or captor which will make for some hilarious clips.
TIPS: When using the human shield it is great to utilize it in close quarters combat situations and in situations where you want to ambush enemies. When countering this feature make sure to aim for exposed areas, utilize flanking, or toss explosives at them!
