    Players with shield making "invisible walls" for others

    Many times doing Legendary missions I've noticed green reticle while shooting at enemies while there shouldn't be anything there that is stopping my bullets.

    Bullets are getting ricocheted like they are hitting other players shield while he is actually not in that place any more.

    I never seen this being reported here on forums but many people are talking about it so wondering if this is at least aknowledged as a bug.

    Hey,

    same problem for some time.
    At first, we suspected this to happen if the Shield player holsters the Shield and activates it again,
    but after testing this and only cycling the shield in a corner it still occured, so it might be a general
    problem.

    I'll try to record of video of it as they never investigate anything - no matter how many people confirm it -
    without "evidence"...

    Thank You for posting this. Haven't seen much on it, but it's a huge problem for harder content. This plagues legendary missions especially thanks to their (questionable) camping design and needs a fix ASAP.

    The issue is very obvious watching Widdz's legendary playthroughs and surely someone from Massive is paying attention?!? Loads of evidence in this vid from Capital stronghold https://youtu.be/PfgAavf3Ze4?t=3180
    > secure south wing > right door: reticle is green and shots hit invisible walls
    Again at 1:31:00 at bridge
    1:32:30 is just a farce.
    1:34:10 they specifically call the shield bug out.

    This is excruciating to watch and even more so to play.
    I have no desire to replay legendaries and contend with this crap again (for poor rewards, but that's another conversation).

    An acknowledgement would go a long way.

    Looks like the upcoming raid will need or strongly benefit from a shield. Hope this issue is fixed long before that drops.

    could it be when shield users are pushed by other players. Maybe at the same time they are deploying/pocketing the shield.

    Could be. There is some weirdness around pushing shield players.

    And still no reply/acknowledgement from any Ubisoft rep or support.
    Why does trying to have a functioning game feel like getting blood out of a stone?

    there is no need to push the player with the shield, the invisible walls appears whenever they want when using a shield,for example, in federal bunker in the boos zone, when you talk with the npc, and use shield to cover you cover both entrances with walls.

    3 days and no acknowledgement.
    I'd be happier if it was on the list of know issues at least - then there would be a glimmer of hope it may be resolved.
