How to unlock all Burning Shores pre-order bonuses

sportskeeda.com:

The latest DLC for Horizon: Forbidden West, called Burning Shores, is out today and follows Aloy on a new adventure exclusive to the PlayStation 5. In a rather strange decision, the DLC also comes with several pre-order bonuses - which has been the topic of minor controversy. The pre-order bonuses are only applicable to players who have purchased a copy of Burning Shores ahead of time and include several exciting in-game cosmetics and equipment.

The items are not redeemable immediately upon starting the game but must be collected manually from a certain point in the DLC campaign.

Note: Minor spoilers for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores will follow. Discretion may be advised.

Players who have successfully pre-ordered the Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West must first complete a certain portion of the campaign to proceed with unlocking the bonuses. Complete around 30 minutes of the DLC campaign and make your way to Fleet’s End to receive the Very Rare Blacktide Sharpshot Bow and Blacktide Quen Commander Legendary outfit.

Both items can be redeemed against a singular Metal Shard each, with the Stitcher and Hunter offering the outfit and bow respectively.

Additionally, the Blacktide Dye is also available for use the moment you visit a Dyer.

Players should, however, note that these pre-order bonuses are only available from the expansion itself, and a playthrough of the main campaign of Horizon Forbidden West must be completed before attempting to redeem these items.

The DLC is only available to owners of both Horizon Forbidden West and a PlayStation 5, with no support for the PlayStation 4 version planned at the time of writing this article.
