It appears that it has been over 7 days and the issue is still causing inconvenience to some.

These reports have been surfacing on various platforms, including Twitter, Reddit, and the Ubisoft forums.

Players have taken to social media to express their frustration with the situation, posting images and videos of their game showing the Echo Elite skin instead of the Finka Elite skin.

In addition to the Finka Elite skin issue, players have also been experiencing crashes during Deathmatch mode.

The crashes appear to be occurring when using non-universal attachment skins, causing Rainbow Six Siege to crash in Deathmatch.
