How to Claim Deluxe Edition and Pre-order Items in Crimson Desert

Overview

What this guide is for

If you secured your copy of Crimson Desert early or opted for the Deluxe Edition, you have a solid head start waiting for you in Pywel. However, whether you are looking for the Kairos Plate or the Khaled Shield, these bonus items do not automatically equip when you start a new game. You will need to manually claim them from specific in-game menus. Here is exactly where and how to access your pre-order, Deluxe, and platform-exclusive rewards so you can hit the ground running when getting started.

Confirming Your Available Rewards

Before diving into the menus, it helps to know exactly what items you are looking for based on your game version and platform. Depending on the editions you purchased, your stash will populate with different gear sets designed to give you an early advantage.

• Khaled Shield: Standard pre-order bonus for all platforms.
• Kairos Plate: Upgraded character armor exclusive to the Deluxe Edition.
• Exclaire Horse Set: Upgraded mount armor exclusive to the Deluxe Edition.
• Grotevant Plate: A specialized armor piece exclusively available to PlayStation 5 players.

How to Retrieve Your Bonus Items

Unlike some titles that automatically dress your character in premium gear after the opening cutscene, Crimson Desert requires you to manually pull these items from your account stash. This system ensures you don't accidentally clutter your inventory before you understand the basics of the game.

Once you gain control of Macduff and unlock the main menu, you can navigate directly to the stash UI to retrieve your equipment. Follow the video below to see the exact menu path.

• Pause the game and open the main character menu.
• Navigate to the Stash or Delivery tab (depending on your UI configuration).
• Select the bonus items to move them from the account stash into Macduff's active inventory.
• Open your standard inventory screen to manually equip the Kairos Plate or Khaled Shield.

Equipping Mount Gear and Platform Exclusives

While character armor like the Kairos Plate can be equipped instantly from your inventory, your Deluxe Edition mount gear requires an extra step. To apply the Exclaire Horse set, you must directly approach your steed and open the mounts equipment menu.

> **Note for PlayStation 5 Players:** The exclusive Grotevant Plate is claimed through the exact same stash menu as the standard pre-order bonuses. Ensure you have claimed and verified all tabs in the delivery interface so you don't accidentally leave your platform-exclusive gear behind.
