Here’s the crux of the article in video form:
New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on May 26, 2021) follows:
Biomutant came out pretty recently on platforms like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
However, those who pre-ordered the Biomutant Mercenary Class downloadable content (DLC) are facing an issue.
As per several recent reports, it seems that the pre-ordered Biomutant Mercenary Class bonus content is not working for players.
The said issue appears to be widespread and players are facing it across multiple platforms.
However, affected players might soon get a fix for this problem as it has been officially acknowledged.
The game publisher, THQ Nordic, has stated in a tweet that they are aware of the issue where the Biomutant Mercenary Class pre-order bonus content is not working.
Also, it has been mentioned that the issue is being actively looked into. This further indicates that a fix for the same might arrive in the near future.
This is, however, still based on our speculation as no ETA for a fix has been mentioned in the issue acknowledgement.
While it is good to see that the issue is being looked into, such problems tend to spoil the user experience.
The case is same here as it is causing a lot of inconvenience to players who were expecting a quick start with the pre-order bonus.
Hopefully, the game developer and publisher resolve the said issue so that users can play the recently released game without any hassle.
That said, we will be back with more details as and when new information becomes available so stay tuned.

If your retailer promised the pre-order bonus despite that, please contact them directly.
