The lack of heals on the map makes the use of evo shields feel pointless, you can level up the shield all you want but you can't fill it. If you kill another player to refill shields you're more than likely going to be downgrading your shields because you couldn't fill up what you had and it's empty. The charge rifle should have been removed or made a care package weapon, with the lack of heals having a weapon with infinite range either beam you down or just do small damage over time guaranteed is just annoying and not enjoyable to play against. Wattson and Lifeline feel mandatory for the mode and I don't think that's a good thing, Loba's also encouraged a bit since you can't find enough heal able items (heal ables being shields and health btw).
How I would have fixed this but you probably wont. I either would have made the mode with basic shields around the map to find that way people don't feel like they upgraded a stupid evo shield for no reason just to have to swap it for something worse. The other option I would have done is to make is so uppon upgrade evo shields fill to their max or by 1, I would have went a step further and made it so that after you max them out every 100 damage or so fills a bar, this would have made up for the lack of shield cells and batteries around the map, this wouldn't really prevent anyone from dying I don't think since most weapons hit for over 1 bar so it's not like you're gonna have infinite health. Obviously this change would have been just for the game mode but what ever.
Either way the mode feels like a pain to play due to the lack of heal able items and due to the charge rifle existing in the mode so commonly. I will say it's nice to use a sniper again since they're dead in the main game since you guys neutered them.

@S_DusttThey should make the evo shields automatically fill when an entire squad is defeated because if it did it instantly when it leveled up it would be unfair during combat, it would also help with being 3rd partied
