I can haz preorder gunz too?

[Labyrinth666]

As I do not want to buy two copies of the game, will everyone eventually get the weapons from preorder bonuses or will I be doomed to forever fell wanting and incomplete?
:stroggtapir: <— Just because.

As has been said a bazillion times (empirically correct number), no they will not be available later.

^ Speculationz?

I don’t believe we’ve heard anything official yet.

By the way Labyrinth there are many similar threads already.

There is a dev quote that says “we have no intention of giving them out later”

Ill try to find it, but it might take a while, not sure where i saw it last.

They actually said it in the forum too. I just can’t find it atm.

[BioSnark]

You’re definitely doomed lol. As silly as it is to give exclusive weapons in a mp game, it’s more silly to say they’re exclusive and then turn around later.

those guns are not that essential, imo and mostly will be used by lights anyway, since medium and heavy can carry smgs and assault rifles respectively as their secondary.

Yeah, I want that ing mp7 but I’m getting the game for $30 on Amazon. I’d be willing to buy it for a couple of Microsoft points but no availability through the marketplace or unlocking is total liquid bull guzzle.

I don’t doubt you. It just seems strange that the Devs who need preorders would say that they have no intention as opposed to saying that they definitely will not release them later on in the form of payed dlc/unlockables. Perhaps this sort of thing is more bethesdas issue though.

[Mustkunstn1k]

Holy f… They actually said that you can’t get them later? I haven’t seen that.

Dick move.

Aaaaand… Brink lands on the most bottom of this list… by being the biggest offender of all.

Hope those weapons are just reskins of other weapons or have the same or inferiour stats. Pay2win sucks with FPS games…

[Ragoo]

Calm down guys, non-standard more competitive servers won’t allow those 2 preorder weapons anyway cause it would be obviously imbalanced.

[tokamak]

That’s not really an argument in favour of the already messed up standard.

Why do you think they can change that? Are we sure that Brink has public server files? It certanly doesn’t have modding.

You can use the good old method of kicking whoever dares to equip it. Very beginner friendly…

[notebook_holder]

I don’t understand what people are being upset about? The exclusivity of what 1 or 2 pre-order guns? If people pre-ordered from one of those locations then they deserve it. Don’t understand its not going to be game breaking

How are you getting it for 30?

Yes… I remember when TF2 was introduced to hats. Some people got an exclusive hat for not using a cheap way to get hats. And after that (right when this happened, after a few weeks things settled down) in some servers people definetly had a different attitude when dealing them. Medics not healing etc.

People can be a real assholes when it comes to things like these. Another reason why not to do it.

Alright, somebody needs to make a FAQ thread to be sticky’d, titled like:
“New Here? Read this first, it will answer most of your questiosn! (FAQ’S)”
That would stop a lot of these posts, but who’s gonna do it?.. someone call H0RSE, lol.

[Herandar]

there are no plans for that - the only way to get the pre-order packs is by pre-ordering the game

“There are no plans” does not mean “It will never happen.”

You’re definitely doomed lol. As silly as it is to give exclusive weapons in a mp game, it’s more silly to say they’re exclusive and then turn around later.

$$$$ wins over looking silly any time. If Bethesda can get a extra $5 from players by unlocking the skins that are already in every copy of the game, Bethesda certainly will.

Exactly. But they really crave the sweet sweet pre-orders. More pre-orders means more money right away, more impressive first day sales figures, less players choosing to buy L.A. Noire instead and a larger installed user base. Larger installed user base means more DLC loot after they plan to release them.
