### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Grab each exotic item mentioned.
2. Use each exotic item (reloading for weapons is how you best see it, looking at the cap of the Slap Jug while using it is the best way to see it).
3. Observe that animations do not play at all.

### Expected Result

Animations fully play for each exotic item mentioned.

### Observed Result

Animations do not play at all for each exotic item mentioned.

### Platform(s)

PS5, PC, Xbox One, Switch

### Additional Notes

The Night Hawk also has the wrong holding animation, it uses the assault rifle one when it should be using the pistol one.
