In the new Progression menu, when you go to claim something it is possible, while the system is registering the claim, to quickly move to a suit further down the line, potentially to an Apex suit, and attempt to claim it, instead. You will get a pop up telling you you've claimed it.

However! The hilarious thing about this bug is it's self-fixing. Even though you get a claim message, you don't actually get anything at all. Not the item you originally tried to claim, not the item the system told you you claimed, and since you already tried to claim the original item the system won't let you claim it again, even though you never got anything in the first place, and, quite possibly, may make it impossible to claim the item you attempted to bug out, as well, since technically you did 'claim' it.

It's unfortunate I claimed everything on my main the normal way before discovering this bug or I'd have a better time finding out if this could turn out to be a possible exploit.

Also I claimed the free Serpent Apex Scouts and sent one over to a newb alt to test something, but I'll delete the character soon. Just in case a dev sees me moving the free APEX suits around and thinks I'm trying to bypass paying and bans me. Purely for testing purposes. Character name is 'Whoa-what was-that'.

Yea I did exactly what this guy did.

Yea I did exactly what this guy did. What were the results? Did you get anything from attempting to claim the items, or did you get nothing? The character I tried it on had a nearly empty inventory, since it was mostly new, so it was easy for me to see that I hadn't actually gotten anything I'd tried to claim. It would probably be more difficult for an established character with a lot of inventory to see if they had gotten anything new, though.

Hopefully you guys can figure out a way to solve the problem just in case it can actually be exploited. On that note, I just want to be absolutely sure I have a back-up post in case I need evidence later on. I did use the free APEX bug and sent one APEX suit to a newb alt character purely to test something. The character's name is 'Whoa-what was-that' and is currently in queue for deletion.
