:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
The new aztec explorer skins are bugged in two ways:

  1. When applying them in the homecity screen, the previous model appears along the new one, and it gets fixed when reloading the city screen going back to the main menu

  2. With the new skin applied, the explorer appears with the old skin, the new one never appears ingame.

I’ll attach videos bellow.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
Skins should work properly.

Please, if you can, release a hotfix with a solution for this bug as soon as possible, as the whole point of the event for some people are the skins, and it really takes the fun of grinding them each day if you are not going to able to use them until December.

Also, it would be good if we could try the skins in the PUP, so these cosmetic bugs could be found and fixed before the live release. Right now, it really bums me down not to be able to play with the new skins.
