So, this might sound stupid, but what's up with the gun buddy? I got the bundle and for some reason I didn't get the pink hearts gun buddy! I only got the orange one :( I bought the bundle specifically for the cute pink buddy.

Does anyone else have this issue? :(

Hi there! We tried something new with this buddy tech-wise so it detects if your teammate is using it too. We thought people would like this tech for this kind of buddy specifically for Duo's Day (it's a nice reminder you're playing with your duo, or maybe a way to find your future duo in a random game!?). It felt like it fit the theme of the day well, so we put in a little extra work to make it special. Some people seem to like it but I know not everyone will be into it.

Sorry to hear you'd prefer the normal tech we use for buddies like Luna and Celestial (and for Xerofang too), where they react when you fire your gun. We're always experimenting with new things for buddies, so I'm sure we'll make another reactive buddy like Luna/Celestial one day, but I'm sure we'll also experiment with other tech (which maybe will be your thing or won't).

I hope you'll still try out your Duo's Day buddy and maybe it'll turn out you like it even though its sometimes angry and sometimes in love, depending on whether someone else on your team is using the buddy too!
