Cosmetics from field lockers

Hello, on the second night of playing I recieved an “apostle” shader for the prophet Biomask. It is now the 5th or so night of playing and I finally unlocked the biomask default, and yet the apostle that was unlocked was no longer there.
2 things

-When a skin is unlocked for an item that isn’t unlocked, please unlock that item regardless. I shouldnt have to have the default to access the shader for it I unlocked. (only applies to cosmetics for non weapons)

-If this wasn’t a mistake, that means that skins unlocked for items that are not unlocked are effectively wasted, and unlike getting a duplicate, I recieved no compensation for said skin that effectively got disintegrated.
