How To Actually Get FREE BUNDLE.

[MeowMix CatFood]

I see a lot of incorrect and silly info being shared here such as needing to delete Steam version, or moving around files. You don't need to do that and you can leave your Steam version alone. Here's a method that worked;
-Screenshot your username in Paladins so you know exactly how it's written (people say they know it, but often forget the way they wrote it).
-DL Epic launcher and create an account. Your Epic username will be your in-game name, though it will not affect you when you play on Steam.
-DL Paladins AND THE FREE BUNDLE, which is an actual pack in the Epic games store YOU NEED TO DL SEPARATELY.
-While it's downloading, go to the Hirez site and link all of your accounts, incl your new Epic one.
-After it's all linked and downloaded, open Paladins in Epic and your packs should be there. If not, at least make sure your setting and account look the same as in Steam. If not, you did not acct link properly. Restart the game. All content should pop. I was able to open my free diamond chest in Steam.

-When going back to Steam, you may be prompted to "create a username". This is why I recommended having a screenshot of your name. Enter it and your account should come up as before, but with the new content. You may be able to enter a different name but I've heard of complications being created with this in the past (may have been a bug) so I caution it.

This 100% worked for me this evening. If you still struggle, read the steps again (esp acct linking and DL the skin bundle separately) and open a ticket with Hirez if you need.

If i already take bundle in egs can i transfer items to steam using hi rez account?

Perfect guide, add "rename desktop Paladins (steam) shortcut so you won't lose it when you install it on Epic" and "use another name in Epic account so that it won't overwrite Steam's one".
Thanks a lot man, great work!

If you link accounts, content should move over. However, it's safer to link first as there's occasionally issues of items not transferring (happened to me once).

Thanks for the kind words.
Good ideas, BTW. Wasn't relevant to my install but I can see how that would affect others so thanks for adding that to the thread.

You use whatever nickname you want. Whether you link the account is up to you. Linking combines progress.

I wasn't around when they released it on epic games store. I though I own every content that epic bundle bas to offer but I don't. I want it.

So I ask only one question. Will I have to download paladins again from epic launcher? My net is slow and I don't want to download it again.

No, you won't have to re-DL. I did because I'm lazy and have the drive space but there's YT vids (I'm pretty sure "Kreepers" made one) and posts here detailing the work-around. It seemed pretty simple.

Excellent. Thanks

Sorry if I sound dumb but what kind of "free bundle" are you people talking about?

Edit: Alright so I Googled it and looks like you can get some standard recoloured skins, the Huntsman Androxus skin and a diamond chest if you get the Epic Games launcher. Meh, that would require too much effort, I'm not going to waste my time and my PC resources for that! So unless you really want that Andro skin it's not really worth it, in my opinion.

In my case i got the bundle through the link, but in the epic store theres to trace of it, it does not even appear in the add ons menu of the paladins store page. Please help :(

[Blumberquack]

Bundle is over but if you want a free name change you can still use this method

[Azpect]

But it shows that i have it in transactions, cause i had pressed the 'get' button from the link. i even have an order number
