Most cosmetics can be earned through play, and weapon skins unlock as sets rather than separate purchases for each customizable gun. Cosmetic rarity is not a Horde combat upgrade; classes and Weapon Mods are separate systems.[2]
Pick one reward you actually want before spending currency. A clear target makes a session more useful: finish its task, check whether it unlocked, then choose the next goal.
Preorder and Premium: check the exact entitlement

| Reward | Unlock route | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Exfil Dom + Exfil weapon set | Preorder benefit | Horde Siege and Versus |
| Death’s Rendezvous Marcus | Premium Emergence Pack | Character cosmetic |
| Bloodied Hunter Tai | Premium Emergence Pack | Character cosmetic |
| Death’s Rendezvous + Emergence Omen weapon sets | Premium Emergence Pack | Weapon cosmetics |
| Bravo Squad Signature Weapon Pack | Premium entitlement | Campaign only |
Digital preorder benefits are granted automatically; physical purchases may use retailer codes. Premium includes the launch Emergence Pack and four later seasonal packs. Those future packs arrive when released, rather than all becoming available with early access.[1]
Character rewards reported in early access
The October 2 unlock reports agree on the following routes. Where they give an action without a numeric target, the row keeps that boundary: check the live reward card for the required count. These are published reports, not playtests by this wiki.[5][6]
| Skin | Reported task |
|---|---|
| Emergence Lucas | Finish Boot Camp. |
| Butcher Bird Gill | Finish Horde Siege’s Onboarding mission. |
| Emergence Marcus | Perform your first Re-Up. |
| Wings of Valor Marcus | Reach the final Re-Up tier. |
| Siege Ops Dom | Max Assault, Breacher, Marksman and Medic. |
| Theta Squad Manu | Use each of the four classes’ Tactical Gear 10 times. |
| Theta Squad Mako | Unlock and equip one Weapon, Armor and Tactical Gear Mod. |
| Combat Medic Morida | Revive players in Horde Siege or Versus; confirm the counter in-game. |
| Emergence Mags | Complete the Bilefrog explosive-cornhole action. |
Start with Boot Camp and Onboarding if you are learning the game. For Siege Ops Dom, use the class and mod guide to choose a first role, then rotate through the other three as you progress.
Weapon sets reported in early access
| Set | Reported task |
|---|---|
| Backbone | 20 kills with each rifle: Lancer Mk1, Prototype Lancer and Hammerburst. |
| Kalona Eagles | Perfect Active Reloads in Horde Siege or Versus. |
| Aurora Borealis | Close Horde Siege E-Holes. |
| Acidic | Down players in Versus. |
| Team Faction Bound | Second Re-Up. |
| Team Draconic | Fourth Re-Up. |
| Team Wooden Resin | Critical damage in Horde Siege or Versus. |
The reports do not supply exact targets for every action. Match the names above to your live unlock card. See Combat Basics for Active Reload, or Progression & Rewards for the level-100 Re-Up loop.[2][5][6]
August beta rewards: earned then, carried into launch

| Reward | Original August task |
|---|---|
| Blast Damage Mags | Player Level 20 |
| Crush the Bug weapon set | 8 Infantry-or-higher Horde extractions |
| Crush the Bug banner | 25 headshots |
| Crush the Bug emblem | 10 revives |
| Crush the Bug icon | 5 Prototype Lancer chainsaw executions |
| Beta medal + First in the Fight title | Launch the multiplayer beta |
Earned beta cosmetics carry over, while beta Player Level, class levels and other Medal progress reset. Both August weekends have ended. These requirements describe that test’s rewards, not current challenges.[3]
Reloaded rewards and the next cosmetic deadlines
| Item or system | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|
| Fire and Fenix pose | Earn Reloaded’s Prison Breakout Xbox achievement. |
| Old Guard medal + Locked n’ Reloaded title | Earn Reloaded’s Re-Up Xbox achievement. |
| Weekly shop | Offers rotate on Tuesdays; check for free featured gifts. |
| Limited partnership items | Move to Barracks Coins/Iron availability after exclusivity ends. |
| Dead Serious Legendary skin | Reveal/debut at the start of Season 2. |
The achievement guide separates Dead Serious’s completion requirement from the later debut of its reward skin. Season 1 runs until December 1; exact event rewards are announced closer to their events.[4]
Is this a complete launch skin catalog?
This is an unlock-route guide covering official packs, beta rewards and corroborated early-access play rewards. The published early-access lists do not provide a complete, independently verified COG-and-Locust inventory or every live store price. Check the live Barracks for the full current catalog.[2][5][6]
