Palpatine missing his hood

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug I joined a game and selected Emperor Palpatine. He showed up on the character selection screen without a hood. The game started, and his hood still wasn't there. I asked if anyone else could see it and someone on the opposing team said they could. When I died and respawned, his hood was back and remained for the rest of the game.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? The_Azhrei
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 03/04/2020
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 11:35 AM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? GMT (UTC)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I found it (if it is indeed a bug) just by joining a game and selecting Emperor Palpatine.
What happens when the bug occurs? Palpatine's hood is gone from the model, his bald head is visible (interesting that you guys modelled the head fully despite being covered by a hood - maybe for a different skin?).
What do you expect to see? Palpatine with hood.
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number Radeon RX 5700 XT

    @Azhrei
    This is what I labeled the Secret Skins BUG. You can check my report on it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Visual-Glitches-on-Many-Hero-Skins/m-p/7811066

    You can actually trigger them on purpose on the match by following the method I exposed there. Also, nobody can see this bugged skin besides the one who bugged it. So if someone told you they were seeing your Palps with the bugged skin, then he was either trolling you, or it coincidentally happened on his end as well. This BUG can also happen to allies or enemies for you, but like I said, it's a client issue, so only in your game things will behave the way they do. Any similarity with someone else's experience is just a coincidence.

    The only reproducible method I know allows you to bug your own skin. I have no idea how your allies or enemies can get their skin bugged on your game, but I have seen it happening already.

    I also suggested devs ignore this BUG for as long as possible, as it's harmless to gameplay, only interferes in the client where it happened, and is actually a cool glitch.
