Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies received two new wonder weapons with the Season 2 content update. The Decimator Shield is a never-seen-before wonder weapon that works similar to the Riot Shield melee. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to unlock the Shield in Vanguard Zombies.

In order to get the Decimator Shield, you need to complete the initial half of the main story quest in Terra Maldicta. Start off by completing the objective in theTempleregion located in front of the spawn area. This will give you access to the Shield that is entrapped by huge red crystals.

Moving forward, you now have to complete the objective to the very left of where you initially spawned. This removes the barrier and grants you access to another region calledTents. There you’re able to find arune stonesitting next to thegreen fountain, Demonic Frenzy.

Interacting with the stone will start a lengthy chat amongst the ally Dark Aether entities. Once the voice lines are over, ablue portalwill appear next to the rune stone. Activate the portal, and complete thePurgeobjective by capturing the control zones within the given time.

Listen to the storyline once again and wait for thegreen portalto appear. This will take you to theSacrificeobjective, where you have to prevent the Syphoncores from sucking life out of sacrificial zombies. The difficulty here is high, as you’ll also have to defend yourself from the new enemy, Zaballa the Deceiver.

If you manage to successfully fend off the attack until theshield charge bar is filled, you’ll be taken back to the base camp. You can finally equip the Decimator Shield to defend yourself from zombies and perform melee attacks on them. The Shield even has a specialDecimation Blastpower attack that has a 90-second cooldown.
