How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Basically, sometimes when I try to use a shield battery to heal while holding the sentinel it does not work. All that happens is I press the button to use the shield battery and instead of healing, nothing happens at all. I actually have to crouch down (or stand up) in order to use the shield battery. After standing up or crouching I can then use the shield battery. It happens intermittently but usually at least once or twice during a game. I find it happens more often after I have fired a few shots from the Sentinel shortly beforehand. Seems to happen across multiple legends and anywhere on the map. Shield cells seem to work fine. I have replicated the issue a few times in Firing Range as well.
What should be happening instead? The button to use shield battery should be working without having to change your position from crouching to standing or vice versa.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into a game and use the sentinel. After taking shield damage and maybe firing a few shots from the sentinel try to use a shield battery to heal while the sentinel is in your hands (not stowed on back). If you do this enough times it will happen. The shield battery will not work until you either crouch (if you are already standing) or if you stand (if you are already crouching). I have also been able to replicate it in Firing Range by using grenades to lower my shield then try to use shield battery. Although it seems to happen less for me in firing range.
Anyone else have this issue? Its been happening to me for weeks.
I have this issue when attempting to use shield batteries very consistently.
