In The Division 2, there is currently a bug that hinders the use of certain skills. Some skills can only be used for a short period of time.
What does this bug do? This bug affects your skills. When you want to use some skills that last for a longer period, they are simply canceled after a short time.
So far, not much is known about this error. Apparently, not all players are affected, and even among those affected, the bug does not occur with every skill use.
What we know about the bug with skills
This is what the bug looks like: On Reddit, players report that they have problems when using certain skills, such as the shield. They use the shield, but right after, the skill is canceled.
Only after a cooldown period of 15 seconds can the skill be used again.
This bug is particularly annoying with the shield, as you typically want to run offensively towards the enemies and leave cover. If the shield suddenly disappears, you’re left in a difficult situation.
This is how it should work: The affected skills usually last for a longer time. When the skill is then “used up”, it needs some time to cooldown before it is ready for use again.
In contrast, skills like the Drone or the Shield are often affected. These are abilities that last for a longer time.
Are there solutions? So far, it is not known how to work around this bug. Some players suspect that mods during the cooldown period may be responsible for it. However, this has not been confirmed.
There have already been numerous bug fixes from Massive, such as in the Update 1.03. When this skill issue will be resolved remains to be seen.
