Respawn Entertainment has announced that the new reactive skins included with Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance will not be available at launch today.

In a post on Twitter, the studio said it's disabling the new skins due to a bug. Because of this, all animations and SFX will be disabled. This is only a temporary move, as Respawn said the animations and SFX for the new reactive skins will be added back eventually. «Thank you, legends, and happy launch day,» the studio said to fans.

Reactive weapon skins in Apex Legends are the final two rewards for each battle pass, each containing a different animation to show off your style and flair. In Season 12, there are new reactive skins for the Hemlok weapon. With Season 12 arriving today, there will be 24 reactive skins in the game.
