I've noticed in the past day, that the Apothecary backpack "gubbins" such as the targeter device and the lamp/flashlight have vanished from their apothecary specific backpack. However, when you're a sergeant of a squad the light and the targeter show up, along with the golden eagle on the backpack. Just thought i'd mention in case noone else noticed, or if the devs weren't aware. I'll add pictures at some point.
Picture related: Left is the normal apothecary, the light and targeting is missing for some reason. This is broken. Right is a preview of the sergeant banner being applied, and the additions have also been included for some reason.
This happens with Chaos elites as well, without a standard they are missing their skulls on the backpacks, with the standard they have them. I think it's in relation to when they tried to fix standards not disappearing when looking over cover. Of course something gets broken once they "fix" something.
Noah is working on an automated colour change if IF or UM is leading a squad... so not only a cosmetic, more a new function.
But what will happen to the red helmet cosmetic he added in game ? I'm not an ultramarine so I don't know it's prize, but will it stay in the game and ruin the entire point of having that script or is it going to disappear and give the players who bought it their RTC back ?
