So, the Piercing Bowstring mod this season reads "Bows gain shield-piercing arrows, which bypass combatant defenses", yet I always get "immune" messages when hitting non-elemental shields on taken phalanxes, scorn lurkers, vex hydras, etc. Aiming down the sights doesn't seem to matter, nor does draw timing. It still works fine against barrier champion bubbles, just not the non-elemental, enemy-specific shields.
The "Anti-Barrier Scout Rifle" mod still allows scout rifle shots to ignore these shields, as has every other anti-barrier mod I've used over the past few seasons (auto rifle, etc).
Is the bow mod broken and somehow this just hasn't been acknowledged yet? I couldn't find anything in the known issues lists, and haven't really seen any other players talking about it. If it is intended behavior, I feel like the description should reflect that, and not imply it works the same as the scout rifle mod.
EDIT: I was tipped off by a friend and just found out that Fel Taradiddle was correctly piercing shields, so I took every bow I own into a lost sector for testing. It seems like every exotic bow, and any legendary bow with Explosive Head will not pierce enemy shields, but others will. This still feels broken, in the absence of any indication that these shouldn't be piercing.
