On which server did this happen? N/A
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 09.12.2021
Summarize your bug After the latest update I seem to not be able to change the knife. I got to collection, equip the knife I want but when I join in a match it resets back to the previous one. So far I've only managed to equip it ( and stay equipped even in the match ) only to Sundance but for the rest it just resets back to the previous one.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Can be found by trying to equip the knife unlockable at the highest level to all or some operators and then joining a game
What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs the knife gets resetted back to the previously equipped one
What should be happening instead? After joining a match it should stay the knife I newly equipped not the previous one

The bug happens no matter what the game mode is and it happened before the first and second update. First when I tried to equip Baku and after I managed to unlock the first level unlock knife but yet again I still don't know what I did to equip the knife and actually have it stay. EA support said that there's nothing wrong on their side so if anyone else has this issue let me know and if there's a fix for it

    PC - STEAM, Since game launch i got this; not able to change knifes on sepcialists bug aswell, though like 2 days ago it got fixed, by another bug.. the one wich resets all specialists and vehicle attachments off to defaults. Well i'm not 100% sure that's a fix, but at least i was able put my Axe knife on every specialists and it's still on them.

    I tell myself "you are not gonna takedown anyone you don't need that" and the next match I find at least 5 or 6 enemies either camping or just unaware of their surroundings
