  •  PC   360   There is a visual glitch when performing a decapitation Kill Camera on any character wearing a Hold Guard Helmet. The animation is completed, however their severed head is invisible save for a portion of the neck, and the helmet texture is still visibly attached to the body. Un-equipping the helmet from the character will fix the issue, revealing their severed head and removing the helmet texture.
