Task Force M4 and UDT Ghost - How to Claim?

[maddbadgerr]

Is it still possible to get the Task Force M4A1 blueprint or the UDT Ghost skin? I recently got MW2R on Battlenet, is the new content only added if you own that on Battlenet too, or is there a way to access it on Steam?

if you manage to find Task force m4a1 by going through all buyable blueprints (go to class menu, select m4a1 and you should see buyable blueprints) then you'll be able to purchase the pack. That being said, I never saw MW2R on steam therefore the pack might have been a limited edition

It's true that MW2R is not on Steam, but the purchase on Battlenet comes with the bundle (this is highlighted on the store page). I don't think the pack has ever been accessible through the buyable blueprints UI on either platform, because you need to get MW2R regardless, but I have checked anyway and it isn't there. I could have sworn I've seen Steam players using the UDT Ghost skin and the TF-M4 though.

Got an answer from Activision support - The UDT Ghost Bundle and other exclusive free bundles tied to Battlenet are entirely unavailable in the Steam version. Player Progress is shared between different versions of the game as long as you're linked to your Activision account, but anything related to purchases with real money is specific to the service you made the purchase on. So you can only get the UDT Ghost Bundle if you're a Battlenet player.

I found a solution! If you purchase the game on Battlenet, start it up, and equip the items you get from the bundle, you can quit the game and launch it with Steam, and the bundle items will still be present and accessible. Apparently you can then refund the game on Battlenet with no consequence (unless you played it for longer than two hours).

Great idea indeed
