Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? Yes
If yes, can you list them here? GeForce Experience
If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? This bug works on any legend
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. This bug works anywhere since it's a first person view bug
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Aiming downsights with any weapon
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? It's an occasional bug, so one I guess
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 19.11.19, 17.11
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
How severe is your issue? Little to no impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Whenever I pick a gun previously owned by a Gibraltar (apparently) and I aim downsights, there's some chance that the weapon will show a "[button] Toggle Arm Shield" on the right, while being any other legend that isn't Gibraltar. Pressing the button bound to toggle Arm Shield does nothing.
What should be happening instead? The message shouldn't show up to legends that aren't Gibraltar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make an enemy Gibraltar die and take one of his weapons
I don't know how can someone cause a 100% chance of this happening, because I've killed a lot of Gibraltars and took their weapons and only sometimes the toggle arm shield thing was present.
I've included screenshots from both a game I had on October 25th, 2019 and a game I had yesterday.
Note: in the screenshot regarding the game from yesterday, the weapon I grabbed came from a Caustic's death box. I guess he took the weapon from a Gibraltar's death box.
