When I watch runs it appears like peoples shield link feature is disabled? I don't know if I'm missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

It allows you to have the two different bots doing two different things - such as doing two bolt cranks at once.

Yeah but my main problem is I don't know how you guys have the shield link off haha

When creating a file, just don't buy it. I know you're in the rac discord, and theres a 100% save that doesnt have the shield link in #resources

alright thanks 😃

If you have a save that has shield link, a workaround you can do is turn on the quick select pause on, then hold triangle and do the bot action (such as pressing left twice). Quick select pause prevents bots from using shield link.
