Black Ops 6 How to Body Shield People

The Body Shield mechanic can be initiated by getting behind an enemy and tapping the Execute button twice in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Learn more about the Body Shield mechanic and how it works here!

How to Use the Body Shield Feature

Double Tap The Execute Button

If you manage to get behind an unsuspecting enemy player, you can tap the execute button twice to use them as a body shield. While using someone as a body shield, you can aim and shoot your weapon.

Default Execute Buttons:

Play Station XBOX PC
PS4 - R3 Button.png XBOX - B Button.png V

To get rid of the body, use Quick Kill or Execution, or wait for the timer to end. If you get killed, the enemy player that you are using as a body shield will be released.

Body Shield Interactions

Voice (Proximity) Chat

When Proximity Chat is enabled in your game's settings, it automatically activates when you use an enemy as a shield. This feature lets you hear the enemy player's final words or pleas for help, allowing players to have some unique and personal interactions.

You Can Reveal Enemy Positions

One of the benefits of not just taking out an enemy player and using them as a Body Shield is that while you are dragging them along, you can see the rest of the enemy team's position on the minimap.

Block Enemy Fire

You can temporarily block enemy fire while using an enemy player as a body shield. However, the exact amount of damage you can tank with the Body Shield is still not confirmed.

Call for Help

Players being used as a Body Shield can press the Call for Help button to notify teammates of their location. To free the victim, teammates must kill the player holding the Body Shield.
