Is it possible that we can just use our swords to block/have duel weapons? Because I somehow glitched in the game so that my character isn't holding any shield in one of the floors.
Having no shield equipped in Tier 2 at the CandleStick level was epic and pretty tough!

You've been able to "Unequip" your shield for a while, really. It just isn't a good idea.
This probably happened to you because you were playing Lockdown beforehand. Since the different classes use their abilities with the shield button, they each have their own special shield, meaning you can't use your own during PvP. I really hope they make it so the shield re-equips afterwards, because it was annoying doing an arena without it. >_>
