Heavy stutter/freeze due to duplex bond mod + helminth charger with skin

[BlueDawn826]

It seems that everytime the game spawns a copy of my companion due to the duplex bond mod effect, the game freezes around 1-2 sec, but only if it copies a helminth charger with any skin equipped

It only happens with helminth chargers with skins equipped no matter if they wear custom or vanilla colors, also there is no stutter/freeze if the helminth charger wears her default skin

I still had the freeze and stutter with the default skin, big sadge

I'm getting this with a kubrow. Everytime a duplicate spawns there's a ~1 second freeze

Saw this happening in a stream, only the host was affected at the time. Seems to be tied to Duplex Bond outwardly.

It was a void survival relic mission. They also had a high rendering quantity as they had 3 Nekros with enemy clones, it would sometimes hitch when the orange void rifts would open in the mission, but also randomly hitch. Seemed to be when an random ally would spawn clones with their Helminth charger, but might've been something else.

There's another threat where there was some more troubleshooting. Exact circumstances to cause it are still up in the air, but in every case, switching to the non prime collar in your companion's Appearance attachments solves the freezing.

Same issue here, using Shade prime tried out prime/non-prime/loid, attachments/without. 

Hek hound with the mod equiped is functioning normally, no performance impact.

Edit: two missions later, shade prime skin with attachments and the mod is no longer causing an issue. :/
