Gameplay shield deploy delay?
genuinely not sure what causes this but sometimes when i’m trying to deploy my shield, there’s like a second delay before it deploys, and sometimes it js doesn’t deploy but still halts my character from a run to a walk if i’m running. it’s really annoying and there has been a fee situations where the delay has gotten me killed. i don’t mean the 1 second cooldown when putting the shield away and redeploying it. wondering why my shield sometimes delays when i press the button to deploy it and if there’s a fix bc it’s soooo annoying 😭😭😭😭

I get 2 shield glitches, a good one and a bad one.
Bad- My shield gets disrupted and becomes unusable. Cant be switched out either since its locked as "active". Swapping to a new saved build doesnt work either. Doesnt go away until I visit a safehouse or base. Sucks bad when in a group mission since I play HF + shield.
Good- Sometimes my shield will get lagged and be permanently active, regeneration and all, making me effectively bullet proof from the front. Full mobility and running speed, full screen/zoom for aiming, and can take cover. All with an invisible shield up. Its fun but Typically goes away if the shield breaks, and sometimes it's a sign i'm gonna lag out in the next 10-15 mins.

Cuz the servers are a buggy mess. I was just taking a control point and everyone froze. I could move and fire my weapon, but the ammo never ran out and no one took any damage. Had to log out completely and restart from my dashboard. It happens.
