"Sentinel

  • Only requires one shield cell to charge if the player has the gold armor."

Bug post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/rd3bss/oh_no_they_accidentally_nerfed_the_sentinel_it/

 

In addition to this bug there are a lot more bugs with the Sentinel right now:

  1. After the charging animation is finished you have to wait a few more seconds before sprinting or aiming down sights for the charge to take effect or the charge will be canceled.
  2. When you loot the Sentinel for the first time in a match it will start charging up automatically... This is a very distracting and annoying bug, you might need to start fighting with the Sentinel right away after picking it up but this auto charging bug will get you killed. (This bug happens with the Rampage too).
  3. You can't recharge the Sentinel when there is a little more power left, so you have to wait for the amped state to end and then you will be able to charge it again. (This bug also happens with the Rampage).

Hey, can I at least know if this bugs are acknowledged by the devs or not? Thanks in advance.

I have notice this same issue in several of my games. I think when the devs fixed the infinitely charged sentinel bug, they forgot about this feature and didn't remember the exception of needing only one shield cell when the gold body shield is equipped.
