Forum:Shield glitch or what?

Something strange happened the other day with my shield or lack there of. I was heading into Fort Knox, and noticed that my shield strength was at a little less than full strength. Then I noticed the strength was off. I had equipped a 536, and the bar said 500 some of 1013. I checked my inventory was surprised that I didn't even have my shield equipped. When I equipped the 536 the power went to 1013. This extra power lasted until I restarted the game later on. It was very cool having another 500 some points of shield and I wouldn't mind duplicating it, but don't know what happened. Do the Crimson Lance Cores I was gather add anything semi-permanently (until re-load)? Maybe it was some sort of loyalty thing, you get in the DLC for guns and shield matching. But it lasted no matter what gun I was using.

Thanks for the replies!
