Mirage's Passive Ability Not Working with Certain Wattson Skins
By Jack Cohen
Apex Legends has a new in-game bug that does not allow Mirage to take full advantage of his passive ability when reviving a Wattson with certain skins equipped. Mirage has just recently received buffs to his kit making him significantly more viable in the Apex arena. His passive "Now You See Me..."—previously called "Encore!"—allows him to cloak when downed, when using a respawn beacon, or reviving a teammate. When reviving a teammate, the cloak is extended to the character he is reviving.
Unfortunately, there is a current bug that does not allow the cloak to extend to Wattson in certain scenarios.

In a clip posted to Reddit by u/Puedd, Mirage arrives on the scene to a downed Wattson. Mirage initiates the revive, the two legends flicker a bit, and then Mirage fully cloaks, and Wattson does as well except for her head and shoulders. Neither of them should be visible at all upon Mirage starting the revive, so something within the game's code is definitely not working properly here.
It appears that Wattson is using the Cyber Security skin in the above clip. Commenters on Reddit also mention that the glitch happens on her Cyber Punked skin as well. Another user extends the claim that this happens on all her epic/animated skins.
As for now, until this problem is fixed (which it most surely will be), many players recommend using the base skin when using Wattson.
