Self/Friendly Smoke Screen Visibility On Xbox
Bungie Account Name - Icon 1067B#3554
Platform - Xbox Series S (+ antidotal reports that Series X is also affected)
Description of Issue - Self/Friendly smoke from Smoke Screen (primary ability) is not displaying the same boosted transparency/visibility (smoke is rendered just as thick as enemy smoke) on Xbox Series S. I've also received confirmation from others on Xbox Series X consoles that they too are affected, but I have not had a chance to observe/test on that platform myself.
Rough Date and Time of issue - Ongoing
Repro steps - While playing on an Xbox Series S console begin a run with the Assassin shell on any map/mode then use the primary ability, Smoke Screen, and compare the transparency/visibility within the cloud to what is displayed when performing the same actions on the PC or PlayStation versions of Marathon (2026).
