How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? When attempting to use a shield battery by pressing 4 while holding a sentinel, the shield battery will not be used. Nothing will happen. If you switch weapons after pressing the shield battery button, it will briefly pull the shield battery out, then switch to the new weapon.
What should be happening instead? The shield battery should be used upon pressing 4.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Hold a sentinel in your hand, and attempt to recharge shields. You might need to scope in once first, unsure if that triggers it. I always use a 4-8x.
This has been occurring for at least a week or two. I see various posts on the internet from other players dating as far back as February 5th about the same issue.

The same thing happened to me. I was playing arenas and consistently when trying to use shield cells to power up the sentinel, it wouldn't charge even though, I had the required amount of shield cells. sometimes it would fix for the next round and sometimes it wouldn't. I would sell the weapon and that didn't fix it, i would buy a new weapon then sell it and repurchase the sentinel and it wouldn't fix it either
