It’s hard to hype up a single shield, to be honest. However, it’s free if you pre-order, so you can never argue with free. It’s not the kind of bonus that will have you rushing to pre-order, but if you have FOMO when it comes to exclusive gear, your loyalty will be rewarded with the Khaled Shield.

How To Get Crimson Desert Collector’s Edition
The only way you can get the Crimson Desert Collector’s Edition anymore is by getting lucky and hoping a retailer has one left in stock, which is unlikely now, or buying one second-hand online.
It’s hard to tell how Collector’s Editions will go down with potential consumers. Sometimes, they sell like hotcakes, even if they’re extortionate, whereas others will still be in stock once the game is out.
