What's with the purple question marks?

What's with the purple question marks? Someone was running around with a giant purple question mark sticking out of their torso. Is it a bug? A missing entity/texture or something? Is it some sort of hack? Anyone else see this?

I suspect it`s just a bug; it feels like something that just didn`t load and the purple question mark is a placeholder for such moments.

The notable thing is that no weapons are missing so they show up ontop of the weapon that they should have been a placeholder for if the model had been missing?

It's definitely a weird one; for a while I thought I was exclusive to the training until it happened to me once in an older patch in a regular mission.

Oh interesting! Good to know I'm not the only one seeing these.

This. I used to see exclamation points for the same reason in Fallout New Vegas.
