Following the new Elite customisation update - that allows to mix and match different cosmetic items while keeping an elite uniform, headgear or victory animation equipped simultaneously - I have been having trouble with having my cosmetics saved.
From what it looks like to me, any operator that I had an elite set equipped for prior to the new Elite customisation being brought into the game will have problems saving my changes once I load into a match. Headgears, animations, backgrounds and the poses save fine, but when I change my uniform it will revert back to the elite uniform upon starting a match.
I've tried to take all the cosmetics off and only use basic cosmetics that aren't related to the elite, but it still goes straight back to the elite uniform if I go into a match or even if I quit the game and load back up. It is quite frustrating, especially after spending £15 on R6 credits just for the items I purchase to not even be usable.
Additionally, something I noticed just now. Even when I have all cosmetics default, I will still see the elite card in the operator selection screen while in pick phase.
