Hi, I picked up a Riot Shield during the Setite mission. I didn't think the item was unlocked until New York. Anyway i equiped it and it was fine. I now want to switch back to my two handed weapon again but the game won't let me take the shield off.. i've tried to sell it but this didn't work. Tried to buy a one handed sword but when i tried to equip the weapon it came up with a red X. Is there a way of removing the shield? I don't really want to start the game again.

Thanks.
