How to get the AI to keep the shield equipped?

[Corporal Shephard]

So I know you can go Deploy---Shield and whoever has a shield will take it out. But if you give them any command, i.e. Stack they put it away and take out their primary. If you do it in reverse, Stack---Deploy----Shield then tell them to Open and Clear they will put it away prior to breaching and clearing.

Is there a way to have AI ALWAYS have the shield equipped? I can't seem to get them to use the damn thing since I have to tell them to take it out and then they immediately put it away when they need it most lol.

Thanks for any help

Bring up the menu and I think its the last option #5? It will give a option to equip AI shields, use the mouse wheel to change between Red and Blue

Yeah I can tell them to take the shield out, the issue is they won't keep it out. They take it out when I give them the order, then if I tell them anything else like clear a room or stack on a door they switch back to their primary.

I'm not too knowledgable on the control scheme but I think you can queue actions so Stack>Equip Shield>Breach?

Shift to add commands to Queue

I think it's just an unintended bug or something. It's not too much extra effort just curious if I was missing something. I've just been quickly telling them to deploy shields after they do an action, thankfully they whip them out super quick.
