Thank you for being a bug hunter, AW_OReilly!

And thanks for posting this. Is it possible to get a screenshot of the bug?

I’m sorry this is happening to you and I understand it can break immersion.

I will try to get a screeny. Imagine if you will, whichever weapon you select being invisible while it is in your hands - doesn’t matter which one it is - when in hands - nothing there. I can’t be the only one experiencing this i don’t think.


I’m able to consistently reproduce this with Spear only. The only thing that shows up, as you can see, is the gem effect. The guy I play with can see the spear plainly.

Thanks for the update and screenshot, AW_OReilly. I’ll get this to the development team for you.

This has been around and known about for months. I believe it is finally getting fixed in the next update.
