### Issue Type (Required):

Visual

### Issue Description (Required):

On the mission countdown screen the weapon isn’t shown in the character’s hand.  
I never had this until the Expeditions update but I think this bug existed a long time ago, so maybe it is some kind of regression.  
I attached a picture of my Zealot with a Relic Blade to show how it looks. I also have this issue with a Thunder Hammer.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Load the mission countdown screen and see if the weapon is rendered in the character’s hand. I had this with Zealot + Relic Blade and Zealot + Thunder Hammer. I can’t say out of my memory if other classes and loadouts have this issue too.  
But I remember that other people who joined that countdown screen after me didn’t have that issue.

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
