★ Apprentice

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? tabbulus
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. N/A
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Gibraltar
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)? N/A
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Skin selection screen for Gibraltar
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Trying to equip Gibraltar's Hack the System skin
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? I don't know
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? N/A
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) N/A
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The Hack the System skin cannot be equipped. The option to equip the skin doesn't appear in the bottom left menu along with B - back and A - select. X - equip does appear on the right though.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to equip the skin
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unknown. Prior to the update - 02/09/2019, I believe - that disabled some skins, this was working. Immediately following the update, the game would lockup in the loading splash screen. I unequipped all of my skins, which allowed me to play. But since then, I have been unable to equip this skin specifically.

X - Equip does appear in the bottom-middle-right section of the screen, but does not function.

I've restarted multiple times due to crashes, slow loads, etc. Was this fixed within the last 8 hours? I lovedl off Apex at 1a EST.
