Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Firefights with dropping shields

in a firefight, opposition drops body armor. I pick up the body armor, not knowing it has been dropped by the opposing team, and it has zero shield energy. I was relying on the shield to replace my broken one, so i could turn around and fight. Didn't notice the shield had no energy. I know for a fact my own squad mates couldn't have touched it.

Sounds like you picked up a spent sheild, then. If their shield is damaged when they drop it, the damage to the shield remains, from my experience. Every one is different because of varying circumstances. It's also more realistic and fairer, in my opinion, that you can't just keep swapping out shields and get new ones every time.

Yes, not a bug. Shields only auto-refills if someone dies with it on.
