I think this bug is related to any kind of status change. I get it when being healed, damaged, shield recharged, ego skill use, etc. I'm sure there are other causes but in my opinion it's anything that changes the character state.

i play on xbox, no problem ever happened like that to me bud, wish i could help
It's related to the shield, not all shields are glitched though.
Best way to test this bug is doing the Hotshot: Moonshine Shack. You get extremely limited ammo, and makes it quite obvious when the shield is bugged or not.
Oddly enough, I have a Respark shield that IS bugged and a Respark shield that is NOT bugged.
The Respark contender is impacted by the reload bug. If I have it equipped, I have issues with reloading with ANY weapon but most noticeable with Pumpshotguns, and as previously mentioned it is extremely noticeable doing the Hotshot: Moonshine Shack!
The Respark Regenerator is NOT impacted by the reload bug. I can run the Hotshot: Moonshine Shack all day long and never run into the reload bug.
So, is it the Respark shield that is bugged, or is it one of the properties of the shield that causes the bug? I would have to pay much more attention to the bugged shield to see if it happens when the shield is recharged which would trigger the Contender modifier for bonus melee damage or is it something to do with the Elec Resist?
To help the devs out, I highly recommend everyone being impacted by this issue to test with a different shield, if the bug goes away. Screenshot BOTH shields, post which one is bugged and which is not. If we can isolate where the problem is, I bet they will then be able to reproduce this bug. Right now, we're all yelling about the bug, and I bet their QA is testing with gear that we are not using, and saying "Nope, no bug". Well, I can reliably reproduce the bug with one shield. If others can do so as well, they can test this and fix it.
Well, looks like it is the Respark Contender that is a problem, I had one that caused the bug as well. It had the flame resistance on it and slightly faster recharge delay.Originally Posted by Reikou
So that means it just might be the melee damage increase. I have not noticed the bug while using other shields so far unless there's been hellbug archers around shooting that stuff that decreases your movement and damage.
Are there other types of shields with the same melee damage increase modifier on them?
<<<maxed out pumps.
i know your pain.
use a VOT FRAGGER (not a votan fragger, vot grind fragger)
it reloads one shell and counts as 2 shots
it also shoots 2 at a time with a mag of 10
how to reload a pump:do not take any damage that disorients you.
use the overcharge perk while not taking damage that disorients you.
if you take any hard blows it reset your reload, that is with any gun.

Congrats, you didn't read the thread and how the reload bug actually works. Check the video that was linked in here :P You can see it, it's not what you described at all.
Good question on that Psamion, I'm not really sure if there are other shields with Contender.
Play on PS3 and it happens to me most of the time (over the last 2 weeks). I will not stop playing but my frustration has gone up on this. I have died several times because it just keeps reloading and I can't shoot back. And it has happened in PVP.
Shotgun, ARs and pistols is when I have noticed it.
Here's my bugged Respark (Respark Reloader II D - has 5% reload when shields are down) -
This is on ps3 but only makes you haft to reload 1-2 times when it happens basically 1 time barely 2 thou.
