Destiny: The Taken King Pre-Order Bonus Leaks
In what appears to be an early leak regarding the pre-order bonuses, we’ve learned that players can pre-order The Taken King in order to obtain the Suros Arsenal Pack on launch day. The same content will be available for all players beginning on January 1, 2016. The pre-order bonus is available at multiple retailers around the world, but in North America you can obtain the Suros Arsenal Pack through a pre-order at GameStop [Disclaimer: GameStop is Game Informer's parent company], or through ordering on PSN or Xbox Live.
The Arsenal Pack includes the new Minimalist shader, a Suros Fire Emblem, and three primary weapons to begin your Taken King collection – an auto rifle, pulse rifle, and scout rifle – all with Suros visual and perk structures. To learn more about Suros weapons and the broader weapon foundry concept, read yesterday's post on the subject.
To obtain the pack, you need to pre-order either the physical or digital edition of The Taken King, and if you’ve already pre-ordered, don’t worry – you’re covered. For more direct comments on the leak, check out Bungie's post on the subject.
Our Take
For collectors, this Suros-themed pack should be a fun set of starter items on day one. However, I’m happy to hear that all players can gain access to the items a few months later.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
