Mass-effect – Why does cloak sometimes fail

mass-effect-3mass-effect-3-multiplayer

While playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer as an infiltrator, about 30% of the time that I use Tactical Cloak it turns itself off within a second, triggering the cooldown again. Is this a bug that other people have experienced? Is there a way to keep it from happening?

Edit: I should mention that I've run into the problem while using both Geth and Salarian Infiltrators. I use this build with a Geth Pulse Shotgun in case that helps. I realize that starting to charge the shotgun breaks cloak, but I am not doing this.

It sounds like you're having a negative interaction between tactical cloak, your charging weapon, and possibly also your latency.

Since you've mentioned it doesn't have any issue with "regular" shotguns, I think that the bottom line is that Cloak hasn't been failing for you, though it probably has been behaving in a way contrary to what you were hoping.
