Why do battlepass items seemingly have a higher priority than items bought from the store?
Taken from the patch 4.3.2 patch notes, Steam version:
Fixed Jake's beard not appearing in the Orbital Captain head cosmetic
Source: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/kb/articles/260-4-3-2-bugfix-patch
The "Orbital Captain" cosmetic is from the current battlepass, Tome V. It is unlocked at level 56. In other words, it's essentially impossible to have unlocked this item at this point without buying tiers or grinding for an unhealthy amount of time. Despite that, it was fixed.
Compare this to this bug report from July about Clown's Pulcinella outfit. The mask clips with the collar in the lobby, and the fingers clip very noticeably into the handle of the knife. All pieces that clip belong to the same (non-locked) set.

Platform: PC
Description: Mask clips into the collar in the lobby, knife clips into the hand / fingers during a match
Steps to reproduce: Equip Pulcinella outfit, the entire thing, and go into a lobby / play a match
How often does this occur: Always
This is a duplicate of the following two threads:
- https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/65462/the-pulcinella-outfit-clips-with-itself-in-the-lobby#latest
- https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/95492/clowns-pulcinella-outfit-clips-with-itself#latest
Both of them are in now archived subforums and the issue was never fixed. This is the first report in the new subforum with the "Pending" / "Acknowledged" upvote system.
The screenshots are old but I just played a match and it still happens in the current version 4.0.3
While clipping for all possible combinations of items is unreasonable to check for an outfit should not clip with pieces of itself at least.

First reported in May 2019, before the first restructuring of the bug reports subforum: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/65462/the-pulcinella-outfit-clips-with-itself-in-the-lobby#latest
And then again in October 2019, before the second restructuring of the bug reports subforum, which added the "status" option to the bug reports: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/95492/clowns-pulcinella-outfit-clips-with-itself#latest
I have just verified in version 4.3.2 that the outfit (collar and knife) still clips with itself.
The latest bug report in the new bug reports subforum still has the status "PENDING", it hasn't even been "ACKNOWLEDGED" yet.
Why do battlepass items, that most users can not even unlock yet, seemingly have a higher priority when it comes to fixing them, than items bought from the store?

I'm still here rallying in for them to return the blue glow back to the Day of the Dead cosmetics.
same feel for the all killers bugs meanwhile surv bugs are fixed in a mere of days sometimes... :)
What's extra weird about the Jake cosmetic is that I don't think anyone would have even noticed that it was bugged - it looked normal without the beard, but I don't have a screenshot of it.
Neas P1 and P3-Cosmetics are bugged since 2018. I could imagine that it is easier to fix more recent cosmetics than older cosmetics with that Spaghetti-Code.
Yea, so weird how they've fixed Spirits audio bug in the hotfix today after it occurred last week, not to mention buffing discordance, I hate how much the devs hate killers and ignore their bugs.
