How to get Preorder skins for free! (Updated)

This guide will tell you how to get the unobtainable pre-order skins in Aliens vs. Predator multiplayer. Keep in mind that this will not 'unlock' the skins, rather it 'equips' it if that makes sense. This will not by any means equip it on other devices as you have to go through the same process on other devices.

The lines in HxD

The file is located in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\AliensVsPredator\76561198054965893
(note: the number at the end may be different for you)

Once you open the file needed, scroll down the offsets until you reach the line '00000A20'
Keep in mind that this line, the columns you see are corresponding:
05: Predators
09: Aliens
0D: Marines

00000A20 x Offset 05 is the Predator skin you have equipped (I have 07 as shown in screenshot)
00000A20 x Offset 09 is the Alien skin you have equipped (I have 05 as shown in screenshot)
00000A20 x Offset 0D is the Marine skin you have equipped (I have 04 as shown in screenshot)

I have highlighted the important numbers for the skins (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE)
Changing the numbers highlighted will change the skin you had equipped.

Remember to save the file and do not make a backup if asked.

Video link

If you are having trouble understanding then go to my video and do exactly what the video does.

Make sure you have your game closed and delete the duplicated file that is created when you save it. Then launch the game after you "change" your skin.

HxD is not a virus or anything. But it can be bad if you don't know what you're doing, which is why you must watch the video carefully without making a mistake.
DO NOT USE HXD ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE NECESSARY FILE

note: This process doesn't "unlock" the skins, it just forces the game to equip it for you. If you change your skin you won't be able to re-equip the pre-order ones unless you do the whole process again.

The Skins

Im a dumbass, I needed a HEX editor.

While I do have a file, its in a PICS format and opening it with a notepad just shows a bunch of squiggles.

The website is down but the method hasn't changed.
I think you're better off following the instructions on this steam guide rather than the video since the video is bad quality and hard to understand.

[SPo_0un]

Is the video still a solid guide to follow since that one website shut down? I haven't looked at everything for it yet, but I just want to be sure I'm doing things right.

You can't unlock the skins. That is why this post exists.
