In this Modern Warfare 3 Blast Shield guide, we will be discussing this MW3 perk in detail. We will give you a full overview of this perk, tell you how it is unlocked, and finally discuss the best strategies for using this perk.

Blast Shield Overview - How to Unlock & Function

The Blast Shield perk takes up Perk Slot 2 and is one of your starting perks as soon as you unlock custom classes. This particular perk reduces the amount of damage you take from explosions.

Blast Shield Pro is unlocked by surviving 20 explosions with Blast Shield active. It is very easy to unlock. The Pro version reduces the effects of flash bang and stun grenade.

Modern Warfare 3 Blast Shield Guide - When to Use

For the most part, the Blast Shield perk is of limited use when compared to Quickdraw, Assassin, or Hardline, all of which are great perks.

The Blast Shield perk is more situational. As you can imagine, this can come in handy if you are using a Riot Shield as the shield protects you from bullets and this perk protects you from explosions. The downside of course is that Overkill pairs naturally with the Riot Shield, allowing you to use both a primary weapon and the Riot Shield at the same time.

As a result, Blast Shield is really only useful when you are trying to take an objective. For example, in Domination, holding a point makes you a natural target for explosives. Blast Shield can help here.

Perks like Assassin and Quickdraw are less useful on game modes when you are on defense, since the enemy typically knows where you are anyway and you know the angles from which the enemy has to approach you to capture their flag.

For the most part, Blast Shield is not worth giving up your other, better perks. If you are defending in a game mode like Domination, you may find some situational usefulness in Blast Shield but it is always hard to justify giving up Hardline, Quickdraw, or Assassin.
