Healing Problem w/ Charged Sentinel Equipped

How is this still an issue???... I just lost a game because I couldn't heal with my shield battery because I had a charged sentinel equipped.

*sigh*

The weird thing is I was able to heal with a shield cell a little bit before that last engagement, also with the charged sentinel equipped.

    I tested a few situations and was always able to heal with a charged Sentinel, sorry but I haven't been able to replicate this myself. 

    Do you happen to have a recording of the point at which you couldn't heal? Had you been revived, or disconnected before this happened? Or do you happen to recall what you did before the healing stopped working? Even something like manning a HMG or being Death Protected could hypothetically be a factor. 

    Thanks. 

  • @EA_David No recording... and nothing you mentioned happened prior to the heal not working. I don't use the Sentinel enough to really know if it's just some random 1 in 1000+ chance of happening, but all I remember is the map was King's Canyon, it was trios (even though I only had one teammate the whole game), I was playing as Bloodhound, we landed at Water Treatment and the ring kept centering on us to where I was able to use the same survey beacon like 5 or 6 times in Water Treatment. Once we had to move, I charged the sentinel and took a couple shots then a Pathfinder rushed me almost downing me, but I got a shot off with the sentinel and knocked him then I went to try to use the shield battery and it just didn't work. No animation was attempted. Nothing. As if I had no heals at all or was already at full hp. The only thing that happened before I tried to heal was me getting the knockdown on the pathfinder with the sentinel.
  • @EA_David  Hey bud! I can confirm that this is indeed an existing issue in game, I've actually referenced it on a number of occasions on our boards since the sentinel was released into the loot pool.

    The issue seems specifically focused around cells/shields, when hitting the input for using said items you won't instantly use them. It takes multiple inputs before they actually work. The issue doesn't seem to happen as consistently as it used to, but it certainly exists, it will likely take some serious stress testing to reproduce.

    In my own personal opinion it is tied into the sentinels charge shot alternate fire, seeing as it has an effect on shield items and not health items.
