First and foremost, Dirty Bomb has been entirely moved to steam. What this means is that it is completely inaccessible via the use of the Nexon Launcher. So do not go and download the Nexon Launcher, that is how Dirty Bomb (DB) was launched previously. In order to play the game now, you must activate it through steam. If you do not have steam downloaded, please do so as it will serve as the new Launcher of DB. But before you get all panicked because you don’t see the “Download” button on steam there is a very specific way of obtaining access to the game. Because the game is in closed beta, you must obtain a closed beta key. At the moment, keys are given one of two ways. Either, first, you were an active tester while the game was launched using the Nexon Launcher or you have applied for a key and were emailed a key for exclusive beta access. Due to recent posts on the forums, I believe that latter has not been achieved for the newest of applicants. But fret not! With a bit of patience you will be granted a key some time in the near future, when DB is ready to open the gates to more testers! If you have received said key, the instructions on what do next are included in the email. (Be absolutely sure to check your spam folder!) You have to open steam then click “Add Game” then “Activate a Product On Steam” and paste the key into the prompted area. Upon successful completion, the game should then be available for download. Be sure the key you are using is valid! The current steam keys that actually work have been given out on the 6th of January of 2015 or later (to the best of my knowledge). Unfortunately, additional keys for friends and companions have not been provided. If you have not received a key do not panic, just exercise a bit of patience.

Good luck to you all, mates!

Thanks for posting this, it was really enlightening to me, but I still am kind of confused about one thing. I wasn’t an original closed BETA tester with Nexon, so are you saying that I likely won’t get my closed BETA key for quite some time? Or is it just that I’ll have to wait a week or so like in most closed BETAs?

Great to hear!

Well first you will have to apply at http://dirtybomb.nexon.net/ for a BETA key. After doing so, as soon as the Development Team can, a key will be sent to you. My best bet is that the next wave of Beta key distribution will be very soon. I do not know exact dates but my best bet is within the next few weeks.

Brand new keys have been issued, the previous ones are no longer active. Currently, additional beta keys have not been provided for the friends of testers. If you would like a key, you must apply directly for one yourself.

I received three friend keys for the beta way back in June. I sent two of them to my friends just now and they are now in and can download via Nexon launcher. Will this get them a Steam key faster? Or no?


(The99thProblem) #9

This will have no influence on how soon they receive a steam key. Their download of Dirty Bomb via the Nexon Launcher will not render them capable of playing the game. The only way to obtain access is to apply for a key at http://dirtybomb.nexon.net/ and waiting to receive a new email. The keys given way back in June are no longer valid.

Good Luck Mate! B)

I had a Dirty Bomb key in my email for quite some time, decided to activate it today…

Obviously i couldn’t play via the Nexon Launcher… But i wasn’t send an automatic replacement key, Should i contact the customer service?

Or am i doing it wrong.

(yes i checked my Spam folder!)

A lot of players are in the same situation, you won’t get a key so you need to go back to the official site, register for the steam beta and hope that you get a key someday.


(magicalSpigot) #12

My old ones dont work anymore, not even the extras i got, so does anyone have any extras for steam?

When did you receive said key? There is a nexon key and there is a steam key. The nexon keys were given a while back, whilst the new steam keys were given out on January 6th of 2015 (or later). If you did not activate your nexon key prior to the switch to steam, chances are, you were not given a steam key. Please reapply and be patient. Good luck mate. B)

So do we have to wait for the code to be sent to our email??? And would you know how long it would take for it to be sent?


(The99thProblem) #15

Yes; after applying, wait and check your email (including spam) regularly. There are no distinct dates for key distribution but a bundle of them were just sent out a day or two ago. Anticipate within the next few weeks.

Good luck mate! B)

Alright thanks mate B)

Thing that I noticed is that it depends on which Nexon account you activated the key on. If you don’t activate the key, I don’t know if you’ll get a steam key. I activated it on a specific account which happened to be tied to a different email (got the steam key on that email).


(The99thProblem) #18

Yes, whichever email you previously used in conjunction with Dirty Bomb, is the e-mail you will receive the key with. You must have activated the previous nexon launcher key in order to get the new steam key without a new application for beta access. If you failed to, you must re-apply for a new steam key.

I have a closed beta code from when it was on the nexon launcher.
