What happens when the bug occurs? The skin for Octane (Gold Rush), doesn't look as advertised in the main menu. In the main menu, when you inspect the skin, the bottom part of the gloves is white, while in the game, it has orange patches. I did not want a skin that has orange patches on it, and would never buy it willingly if I knew this.
What should be happening instead? The bottom part of the gloves in the game should be white.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use the skin Gold Rush for Octane.
I bought the battlepass specifically so I could buy one legendary skin of my choosing with material acquired.I grinded to level 86, while checking every day through all the different skins and deciding what I will get. Finally I reach level 86 and have decided that I want the Gold Rush skin for Octane. It's perfect, it has the colors that i like, and it looks amazing. I get it, I go in game, and the moment I saw those ugly orange patches on the gloves, I was disappointed. Nobody else sees them, my friends tell me that when they look at my character in game, the gloves on the bottom are white, they are white when you drop from the ship and every time you see your character in third person. But that's not the point, this game is first person, and now I'm stuck with this ugly skin (in first person), that looks like a regular blue skin that cost 60 material. The salt on the wound is, I hate the color orange, especially on clothing. It's just how I am, some people like it, some don't. I would have never bought this skin if I knew this was the case.
This may sound silly, but this is false advertising, people pay $18 (or $10 for the battlepass in my case) for these skins, and to not get exactly what you paid for is unfair.
Thank you for the detailed report, I'd guess an earlier iteration of the gold rush skin was left on the gloves. We'll report this and I'll update the thread when we have any info.
