I also recently saw a player with multiple buddies, but I believe it was the same player bc they had the same skin as shown in your ss.I think this guy found a way to have multiple buddies active at once. I relogged and this was still there, so I don’t think it’s a visual glitch.
Haven't seen anything since you post this thread, but in discord changelog no one mentioned it, so maybe it's still possible?I’m kinda curious because I haven’t been online in a while. Is anybody still experiencing this bug?
