There’s no more humiliating death in Black Ops 6.

Dying in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a common occurrence, but there are certainly more humiliating ways of dying than others in multiplayer. Getting shot? Pretty standard. Getting knifed? Rough, but not rare. But death by body shield? Embarrassing.

Body shield kills are new to Black Ops 6, but executing them isn’t easy. Here’s how to use an enemy as a body shield in BO6.

How to use the Body Shield ability in Black Ops 6

To use an enemy as a body shield in Black Ops 6, you mustapproach an enemy from behindanddouble-tap yourmeleebutton. You’ll see an indicator when you’re able to body shield a target. A single press will use a light melee blow which won’t kill the enemy, while holding the melee key will begin a finishing move.

Double-tapping the button will have your characterdisarm the opponentand grab them, pinning their arms down. Theywon’t be able to shootandcan only sing out for help. If you still want to use a finisher move on the target, you can by holding your melee key again.

If they sing out for help, amark will appear above themindicating to the enemy they have been captured. Then, when an enemy comes around and shoots you from in front, they’ll hit their teammate first! You’ll also have an advantage as you’ll have your sidearm or primary weapon drawn and can immediately respond.

The funniest part is if the captured player uses voice chat,you’ll hear them! They can plead with you to let them escape, or you’re able to have a short chat with them before you execute them mercilessly.

Yes, even if the timer runs out, they’ll be killed — there isno escaping a body shieldunless the holder is shot from behind.

If you’re chasing body shield kills, I suggest using theNinja perkto mask your footsteps, andusing weapons that boost movement speed(such as knives, sidearms, or SMGs) so you can keep up with and sneak on players.
