Known Issue
💡KNOWN ISSUE:
Our team is aware of a bug causing the mirrored presentation of “SKIPPY” on the Mythic Alternator skin. While we are selective about which weapons receive this level of granular detail due to the complexity of texturing and weapon variations, the mirrored text was not intended in this specific case.
The team is actively working on a fix and hopes to have it resolved soon. We’ll circle back with an update once the issue has been addressed.
