Shades

From the Call of Duty Wiki

Shades is a Tier 2 perk in Call of Duty: World at War that reduces the effects of signal flares. This is useful in countering enemies who think they have you temporarily blinded, as they generally won't be as cautious when attempting to kill you. This perk is useful for defending in 'Search and Destroy' game mode matches. It is unlocked at level 32. Shades are absent from the Wii version of Call of Duty: World at War.

It cuts the Pink-to-White Hue created whilst within a 5m Proximity of a signal flare, though it is not as effective against flares as Gas Mask is against Tabun Gas and does not allow the player to retain their minimap while viewing the flare.

If the player has Shades equipped, the player model will reflect that, with sunglasses literally on the player model to protect it from the intensity of signal flares.

[edit] Tips

Always combine with Signal Flare!

Tip 1: (combine with Second Chance) Hold a signal flare in your hands right before being killed. It will make you almost invisible on the ground, you can see the enemies but they can't really see you, it improves your chances to successfully be saved by a teammate, and will make a great trap if you use your knife on an approaching enemy.

Tip 2: (combine with Bayonet) Strike quickly after blinding a victim with a Signal Flare. This tactic is most effective on small maps such as Dome.

Tip 3: (combine with Bouncing Betty x2) Throw a signal flare on one of your traps set in a doorway or a staircase.

Tip 4: (combine with Special grenades x3) you get in a match, set in a small map. Throw all of your cherished signal flares around the map, to cause as much disruption to the enemy as possible, while taking this chance to kill anyone dazed by it.

Tip 5: (on the War game mode) Players may throw flares at the flag to be captured to shield their advance. With Shades equipped, you can lie prone by the flag and if a flare is thrown on top of you, you will be able to see people moving in, while they can't see you. You can also throw a flare at the flag and move in to take out the blinded people.
