Summary
The ballistic shield no longer performs the Charging action, at least as of v33.10. Pressing sprint button while holding the ballistic shield makes the player character sprint forward, but the shield whips around on the players’ left arm. Additionally, modifying the player class to have infinite sprint energy does not persist while holding the shield. Holding a different item will honor the zero energy cost, but switching to the ballistic shield uses the default energy cost.

Steps to Reproduce
- Add the ballistic shield at an item spawner or granted on a Class Designer.
- Set energy cost of all players or specific class to 0 energy cost.
- Start game session.
- Equip the ballistic shield either from the spawner or switching classes.
- Attempt to perform the charge function (Sprint).
Expected Result
Player should hold the shield in front of them, blocking while sprinting. Sprinting should cost zero energy.
Observed Result
Left arm (shield arm) acts as if the ballistic shield is not there and animates as if nothing is being held. Energy drains as if the default setting is still set.
