Gear Duplication via Sponsered Kits

Just experienced an interesting bug. Gear will be duplicated if you equip a sponsor kit, select ranked, go to a different map, and change from solos to trios.

In more detail:

I select solos on Outpost.

Equipped sponsor kit (blue CyberAcme)

Select ranked (Dire Marsh) - Will give an error as Blue kit does not contain holo tag

Go back to Outpost

Select Trios

Queue

Doing the steps above, I loaded into an Outpost trios match with no gear; no heals, no shield, nothing. After dying, both the Blue CyberAcme kit in its boxed form, and the individual items the kit grants (twin tap, blue shield, cores etc...) were in my vault overflow.

Hey there,

Thank you for your detailed report.

We understand you experienced some odd behavior from a sponsored kit you equipped yourself with. We can imagine the impact of what you describe. So we can effectively investigate, please consider replying with the following details and clarifications:
- Do you experience this with any sponsored kit, including free ones?
- Which platform do you play on?
- Do you experience this if you skip the step involving attempting to play Ranked?
- A linked video demonstrating this.
Once we have the above information, we'll investigate this further. Thanks.

Can't attach a screenshot for some reason, I assume its a size error as I'm on a 4k monitor, but not sure what size I need to compress to. Not getting an error message for some reason...

Anyway, I think I can theoretically recreate the issue with another sponsor kit but not going to in-case it risks a ban.
