Pre-order Bonus

[FamilyGuy0395]

Devs - Will this pre-order DLC ever be purchasable? Doom Eternal allows you to purchase its pre-order bonus, why not this game?

Really? They got closed down?

Thats a big cap, arkane still exists and so does their twitter page as well as prey's official twitter page. As for them not reading the forums this is likely true
There might be a mod where someone adds it for non preorder players but im not sure

The Studio released a game last year and have recently released a trailer for their next game planned this year

While the doesn't seem to be a released mod to unlock pre-order content, doing it yourself is easy

first follow the instructions here to extract the game files and create a editable .pak file from them. once this is made you can open it with a zip program and change it anytime though some changes only register on a new game
https://rosodudemods.wordpress.com/prey-modding-guide/

the file you want is entitlementlibrary.xml and maybe entitlementunlocklibrary.xml if you want to change what you get from the preorder pack, you can delete the rest if you don't want to change anything else

in entitlementlibrary.xml 4th line change SteamDlcID from 1 to 2
<ArkEntitlement ID="10739735956152474538" Name="Pre-Ordered" SteamDlcID="2" XboxDlcID="1" PlaystationDlcID="1"/>

this will change the unlock requirement from having preordered the game to owning the mooncrash DLC

With entitlementunlocklibrary.xml you can set what you get preorder bonus, in my one i set it to give me the golden pistol and a psycoscope as well as the normal preorder stuff

Followed these instructions and placed the pak into the precache but it doesn't seem to do anything? the pre-order prompt isn't showing up in the intro and I'm not really sure what's going wrong

Without looking at it i couldn't tell you what is wrong

But here is a download link to a copy of it
https://easyupload.io/gcfrj5
this download will last for 30 days before being removed

thanks for the help

Use nexusmods for uploading the file, better place than easyupload for permanent location

Yes, a reupload of this file would be much appreciated.

You only want the preorderbonus, right?

The pre-order mod is now on nexus mods
It has both files, entitlementunlocklibrary.xml should be default, you could always delete the file from the mod if you want to be sure

Oh, i was busy to create one myself but i get stuck when doing your steps. Thats why i tried to reach you. However, thanks!

Edit: From Nexusmods "Extract the .pak file from the zip file and place the .pak file in:
\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Prey\GameSDK\Precache"

Some suggestion to polish your guide a bit: use this %programfiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Prey\GameSDK\Precache since windows know where %programfiles(x86)% is.

Again thanks for all your efforts.

Hey !
I put the .pack file in the Precache folder, where he is resting along another patch.pack file. Yet, the game doesn't tell me anything regarding the pre-order at startup and I have no idea how to test if the file is taken into account.

Could I be doing something wrong?
