Winter Wolf companion: No Active Bonus?

iandarksword

The new Winter Wolf companion does not have an active bonus. It is also not listed in the Companions tab. It could also be just a smidgen bigger at maximum, Winter's Vanguard, it looks comparable in size to the regular Wolf. I like those glowing eyes though...
I'll tag @mimicking#6533 and @nitocris83 to pass it along.

Not only does the companion lack an active bonus at any level, it also doesn't give the 15% statistic bonus when upgraded to Legendary status.

With the new item level system, the companion also has an item level of zero.

This is outrageous and needs to be fixed ASAP! What is the active bonus supposed to be ?

3 Issues:

-Item Level Zero
-No Active Bonus
-At Legendary rank, it also doesn't grant the 15% bonus stats.

Poor wolf

Looking around at some other companions, it seems others are affected as well, like the panther.

It seems the item level from a companion actually correlates to the tier of the active bonus, so any companion with a missing active bonus is also missing an item level. Companions that are missing an active bonus when they drop at a lower quality than whatever they were originally released at do get straightened out if the player upgrades them (but this should not be necessary).

The Winter Wolf might be the only completely new random companion drop that was added in the revised dungeon loot, and the only companion missing an active bonus at any quality. I suspect that's also why the game assigns it no legendary bonus. It's like it isn't even real... meaning, the game doesn't know how to interpret its effect to the player (because there is none), even though it can attack and has animations and everything works so far as the companion itself goes.
