How To Control Newcastle's Tactical Shield
This Is A Complete Guide On How To Control Newcastle's Mobile Shield

Shoutout To LeinadSP on reddit for the amazing explanation:

There definitely should be an overlay you can toggle (similar to seer and the heartbeat sensor) that shows the circle around you and whether it will rotate and/or move.

Easy "fix" that respawn should do :
Pressing tactical button results in the shield moving without changing direction,
and pressing the secondary tactical button (idk how its called) makes the shield change direction :D

I tested it yesterday and for me the shield turns when redirected to zones around 90 and 270 degrees (something around 10 degrees margin). I think there's more to it, some kind of relation between shield's and player's positions

This was amazingly helpful, and clear cut. I'm sure there was a drop off in players using him because of this learning curve. When I started messing with it in the Firing Range I realized immediately not a lot of ppl will stick with him because of this.

why they do it so overcomplicated, why they just didn't do "tap to move hold to rotate"?

[BlueJay]

I'd really enjoy if they could somehow make a really small input delay for directing the shields orientation, so a hold and drag = moving, and a press changes it's orientation

If the drone is in between Newcastle and the ping, the drone rotates towards the ping.

The drone is "between" the player and the ping if the "distance between the drone and player" and the "distance between drone and ping" are both shorter than the "distance between player and ping".

This is my observation only though so I could be wrong.

I don't play new castle but this vid is super informative thank you so much for explaining all of this

[dazed]

I think it'd be easier to just double tap to turn and one tap to strafe

[SGT_Starman]

Why don’t they make it for console that when you double tap it turns and when you tap it then it will move?

[Benny.B]

Oh nice. Thanks for this video. Basically it’s all about Angles.

[stephenunorthodox]

it should just be a press and hold, press to make the point it will move too and release after your facing the direction you want it to face. It'd be so much easier and more versatile that way.

Only character I struggle with, thank you for this.

[ItzGuppy]

Easy solution, make it so when u hold the sbility button it turns the shield to move snd turn that direction and when u just tap it it faces the same direction while moving

[theploksoundtrackslaps]

Thanks so much for this! Will definitely help myself and my friend who were wondering about this lol

[ObliviousTrash]

It would be cool if you could hold the ability after you press and use mouse movement or specific keys to rotate it

[tillytyrone]

My god the drone should just move with the way your facing

[damnitstroubleman]

I don't have Newcastle yet, but for some reason I always thought there was a button you could press while you hold down another button to rotate the shield clockwise or counterclockwise. I never knew it was this complicated. 🤨

Thanks for the guide bobz it really helps keep up the good work man :)

[Moon-Walkerrr]

Thanks, you are the best, this will help once I get him. I was wondering how it worked.
