New Horde Shield Planting Strategy
I’ve found a very fast way to plant shields that allows me to replant about 4 shields every wave on my own. Towards the end of each wave try to group the shields in relatively close proximity. Pick one shield up before the end of the wave and have the others either planted near you or laying on the ground near you. At the begining of the next wave switch weapons from your handgun to your lancer and that will cause you to drop the shield you were carrying. Pick up the next shield (which will switch you to use your handgun again) and switch back to your lancer. Continue doing this until you have picked up and dropped as many shields as you can (YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLANT THE SHIELDS, JUST DROP THEM). Doing this will usually allow you to pick up and drop about 4 shields before the shields disappear. The shields which you have picked up and dropped will not disappear like the shields normally do if left untouched. This will give you extra time to go back and replant the shields at your leisure. If 2 or 3 people on your team do this every wave it will free up the other members of your team to get ammo and grenades and they can help replant the shields you dropped when they return to your base. This will allow you to plant 8-12 shields per team. If everyone would do it each wave you could theoretically replant 20 shields each wave. This strategy works much better than planting every shield after you pick it up.
