There isn’t a better way to celebrate the return of killing Locust Hordes in Gears of War: Reloaded than by loading Marcus and the crew up with handy pre-order bonuses to make the nostalgia even more painful and perfect.
Gears of War: Reloaded feels like a fever dream in many ways. The game marks the franchise’s first appearance on PlayStation—which is mindblowing enough. But it’s also a suped-up version offering many improvements and differences over Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, making one of the most important video games as relevant as ever.
Pre-orders will consist of first-time players and Gears veterans, but you all get the same pre-order bonuses—if you’re keen enough.
Every Gears of War: Reloaded Pre-Order Bonus
Gears of War: Reloaded pre-order bonuses include special Adam Fenix and Anya Stroud character skins, and the expired Multiplayer Betas.
I wouldn’t say the pre-order bonuses are more stacked and loaded than Delta Squad. They would have been depending on when you pre-ordered Reloaded.
Everyone gets the same two Adam Fenix and Anya Stroud character skins for use in multiplayer. This is fine, but it’s not something I’m specifically going to pre-order for. On the other hand, pre-ordering early did grant access to both of Gears of War: Reloaded’s exclusive multiplayer weekends.
As this guide is being posted after they’ve long since expired, this means you don’t benefit. If you pre-order now, your only bonuses are the two skins I mentioned above.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
How to Get Gears of War: Reloaded Pre-Order Bonuses
Quite simply, pre-order Gears of War: Reloaded before its August 26 release date to secure the remaining pre-order bonus rewards.
If you’re still keen on Reloaded, you may as well pre-order to get the skins. They are presumably exclusive after all, meaning, you can flex on other players once you execute them with your unique outfits.
You can pre-order Gears of War: Reloaded through the PlayStation Store, Steam, or Xbox to get your pre-order locked in.
Do you think the pre-order bonuses should have included early access to the game’s full multiplayer? Do a couple of skins feel light even for free pre-order bonuses? These incentives are always a fun discussion. The Insider Gaming forum is the perfect place to vent or share constructive thoughts.
