My Hunchback 4SP is missing part of the PC Gamer skin, the right should match the left, but the new torso section is just the base color.
This shows up when I take off the missile launchers.
Can anybody else reproduce this?

Looks cool still, but it is actually a bug

Mixed up Colors.

Yeah, whatever the base color is, that's what color it is for me.

The skin was made before it was possible to take the hunch off. So I guess it's not actually a bug they just didn't fix the skin.

Few people from back then still play (you can still get the skin anyways), so I doubt they felt a need to make it work, or they just overlooked it.

You sure? I thought PCGamer pulled it after they realised more codes were going out than the number of people who'd actually bought the magazine.

Anyway, I'm not surprised the PCG skin doesn't work now with the new hunches. As above, it was made before they thought about the dynamic models.

DOH! I didn't even notice it. lol

HA, I didn't know that.

They made a lot of the skins work correctly, but the PC gamer is not a premium skin, so I really don't doubt that it had low priority. Still a pretty large oversight.

Yeah, I'm >80% certain that you can't get the skin any more. There was at least one website that basically had the answers for all the possible questions the PCG site would ask you, you plugged in the right word, it regurgitated the redeem code, and you got a nifty new set of skins and colours. Then it was either reported or they found it themselves.

HA, that explains why there were so many people with those skins.

[Diablo Intercepter]

Everyone go try the phranken skin on a hunchless 4sp.

The razor dice was even easier. Someone posted a link to the website that gave you a redemption code. Didn't even have to download the software or anything. lol

I have the razor dice, but I also have razor hardware, the software is kind usefull if you want to use a USB headset.

I'm wondering if this is why we don't see more free offers and it makes me wonder how these in game offers work behind the scenes etc.
