I sliced a crate of these, and now when I get shot with something that the slicedPSG (energy, stun etc..)is supposedly resisting it doesn't stop any damage at all! I have tested this thoroughly in PvP and PvE, the durability on sliced PSGs doesn't go down and there is no combat log saying the PSG stopped xxx amount of damage. Even the worthless enc sliced PSGs become extra baggage with no purpose, they don't resist anything at all.
And what surprises me the most is I did a search on the topic and no one has found this bug yet!

I've never heard of this happening in the past. I've used sliced PSG's myself and they worked well enough then...
Can anyone confirm?

Actually I can confirm on that... or at least to some degree. I have a PSG that I sliced some time ago, and in the beginning it took damage, but for the past month or so it hasn't lost any condition. It's not even dacaying, so there must be something going on.
I'll try to use a non sliced PSG and see if it works when I get to log in again.

Hmmm have you tried equiping it and re-equiping it after you've loaded. My sliced PSGs work fine. They get ripped to shreads pretty quickly during PvP (the only time I use them) I go through about5 of them during a fight.

Actually, from what I have experienced, it seems like the PSGs didn't work whether or not I reequipped them or logged out fully. They weren't working last night, and they weren't working for methis morning. They started working again after I had cloned.

Sliced and unsliced shield gens work. Your problem is that you don't re-equip it before a fight. They are bugged. Everytime I fly through a shuttle or starport I re-equip that bad boy.
This explains why some of you see bugs with both sliced and unsliced gens.

PSGs are pretty bugged in General I think... but at least they are workable.

I heard above Ap1 they don't protect at all.
I have found that after the fix a month or so ago mine work fine all the time. No need to equip or re-equip.
But why would yopu want to clice one? My friend tried that a few months ago and I got 40% encumberance decrease on 3 of them. But since they have zero encumberance that didn't do me any good.

You might want to slice them becuase although an encumberance slice is worthless, an effectiveness slice will increase the resistance stats just like any other armour

I have tested with a laser carbine (ap2), scout blaster (ap0)and geo pistol (ap0) as well asthe few riflemen that I fought as an overt (probably jawa ion, ap1).
When they decide to work, the PSG absorbs damage from all of them.
When theydecide to not work, nothing is resisted as if you aren't wearing the dastardly thing!

Just tested it, seems that even unsliced PSG's are not working either.

Cancel my last post. Unsliced do work for me, but sliced do not protect me at all and yes I have tried to unequip and re-equip. Still not working for me.
