Purchased stat buffs do not increase stats after a reload

What platform are you playing on?

Xbox Series X

What is happening? (and what do you expect to happen instead?) 

As noted in this Reddit thread and I assume elsewhere, the stat buffs that can be purchased from merchants do not work. The descriptions are false since the stats are not present after a reload.

I expect to get the actual stats that are in the description.
