NO the weapon was not unequipped and no weapon swap was performed.

It’s intended that the coating disappears when swapping weapons?

That can’t be right.

I agree but it does. This shouldn’t be the case , i mean the game play-style promotes playing with a combo of two weapons. Why Arcana Coatings are gone after swapping weapon is beyond me.

It’s a visual bug on the hud, you can fix it by swapping from weapon 1 to weapon 2, then back to weapon 1.

I can run around with a coated hatchet and coated great axe at the same time, it only goes away if it expires or I put the weapon into my bag.
