Sorry, you can get them if you live in the UK. All you have to do is pre-order the limited edition from a couple different retailers! :suicide:
I haven't seen any pre-orders in Aus that give the outfits. GG.

I know it makes me a big dumb idiot head, but they made the national guard outfit available to everyone instead of just season pass purchasers. Which is super cool and rad if you held off and didn't get the pass.

But on the other hand I really wish I had something to show people that I make really bad life choices. Aside from my SA account of course.



It was always advertised as "early access" to the national guard set. I pulled this off its Steam page.

Well the code activated fine for me. It is a shame that
they restrict it.
At least I get to rock my orange Hazmat pants for playing the beta.
Those are the flashiest colour so far. Pair that with pink and turquoise weapon paint and it will be glorious...
Or was that a pre-order bonus?

Not sure why I didn't see it; thanks. e: Didn't expand the Agent Origins section, zz

The gold edition claims there are "exclusive benefits to be revealed soon," but I'm not convinced that's worth the extra $20, if I assume the season pass will be $20.

It says "With the Season Pass, you'll receive a full year of major expansions and exclusive benefits. More details to be revealed soon !" not gold edition.

Gold Edition says "Pre-order Tom Clancy’s The Division Gold Edition now to get a unique additional gear set at a lower price. ". So I'm guessing National Guard set is cosmetics?

Which makes saying "no agent origins outside the U.S. because pre-order bonus" a bullshit excuse.

81.70USD before taxes according to Bing.

Pretty much the same.

I was worried at first with Amazon because when I originally checked it a few weeks back the Digital Download version didn't look to get the same $20 discount that regular box did. So I waited. Checked last night (after about 3 weeks) and noticed that the discount was popping for the download so I grabbed it.

Has anyone else here ever pre-ordered from Amazon? I'm curious as to how they'll handle the key delivery for things like pre-loading, or if they'll even give it out so that we can.

In the beta you just filled up on medkits when you hit a resupply crate. Is there evidence to suggest that medkits will be something you purchase instead? Or does "three medkits" refer to the ability to carry three medkits at a time, something that in the beta was locked behind the first medbay upgrade IIRC

Looking through the other rewards on there, there's something called "Phoenix Credits: used to purchase high level equipment", I'm guessing these are raid tokens? Or something similar to "you did some high level content here is a punch card and on your 10th run of high level content you get a piece of gear"

Considering that 500 credits is barely anything, I wouldn't be surprised if it just resupplies you with three medkits once :effort:

Normal aesthetic gear aside, how long do you think it will be before we ditch the weapons/backpacks provided via the key or via preorder?

I can't see these things being worth a drat after more than 30-40 minutes of average gameplay.

Yeah, my starting gun and backpack were gone 2 levels into the beta. I'd say the cosmetics are the only ones that would carry over longer. Gear-wise I get the feeling it's going to be "Get to max level of relevant DZ tier, farm DZ for gear,level, rinse, repeat".

Personally I would have preferred that the gear the agents were wearing was a bit more in line with what's considered proper protective gear these days. The zip-up/buckle style vests they have us donning as agents were, in life, meant to be worn over some type of plate or Kevlar (or combo of both) carrier. Though with the acceptance of molle and other attachment systems they've grown largely obsolete due to them just adding weight and, in most cases, needing a web belt or other attachment device in order to anchor them to the carrier so that they don't move around (independently) too much.

Modeling a plate carrier with a few various pouch/plate arrangements from the plethora of available carriers and styles that could be found on the net (or in the form of cheap knockoffs from airsoft retailers) wouldn't have been incredibly hard and, in my opinion, would have looked scores better. Here's to hoping that there is something that adds a bit of "armor" to the avatars.

No actually we're good!

The "armor skins" are all the cosmetics. They're already in the game. The vest is under a puffy coat, who gives a gently caress. If I can't fit a helmet under a bobble hat then gently caress you I don't want a helmet.

You have the option to remove the coat and the vest is still visible through the front because it's not exactly zipped closed. I also said jack and poo poo about helmets. There is no "cosmetic" skin for the vest, it's an actual item, not a cosmetic (like the hat/jacket/shirt/pants/shoes). Every vest I encountered throughout beta was the same tired zip up model with a different color scheme. The only real changes from swapping out gear that were immediately noticeable were on the backpack as it changed shape and the items hanging/attached to it changed.

That perk actually worked in the beta, it allowed you to carry three medkits instead of two.

I can't give my backpack a hot pink leopard-print pattern, which is clearly an opportunity for improvement.
