The suppressed sniper rifle has had the wrong model/texture for far too long and this little bug hasn’t been fixed in years.

You can spot the wrong model by equipping the weapon in your hand or dropping it on the floor.
The weapon model should have an arctic camo, as shown in the inventory icon
Instead, the sniper have both wrong held model and wrong pickup model

From the pictures you can see a comparison of how the suppressed sniper rifle looked in an old photo and how it looks today and how the weapon model is wrong compared to the icon

To prove your point, I should mention that the Fortnite OG version uses the correct model, so it would be easy to swap everything
That or change the icon to make it match

FORT-1010167 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 39.50.
I actually wanted the model changed to make it the right one… Well, now it’s my fault if we have this new icon…

Nah dude, you reported the model being wrong, I gave the icon idea, this one’s on me
Well, if you think about it this opens the possibility of them adding the OG mode version, which is the artic one, having both of them in creative!
But I take responsibility for creating this thread, otherwise none of this would have happened
