Hornedfrog85 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I would think the giga skin is for getting all the surviver notes and the armour is for killing the mantacore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloddstar Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If they aren't in your inventory by default they are likely unlocks like the mecha rex skin for xbox. Seems a little like false advertising to me if that's the case - i was under the impression they would be in your default inventory like all the preorder skins for PC. I guess I'll find out when i get around to purchasing the PS4 version in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7_Sinner Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 This is likely because, like the rewards on the Xbox One version of the game, the Bionic Giganotosaurus skin and Manticore Armor skin must be unlocked by fulfilling certain requirements. My Survivor Profile was wiped just days before Scorched Earth released and I haven't recovered my Bionic Rex skin or Survivor's Trophy yet due to the lack of time during my day. If my theory about your items is correct, you'll likely need to recover ALL of the Explorer Notes on both the Ark Prime map and the Scorched Earth map. My suggestion is to go into single-player, spawn a gps (if you have access to spawn commands), and spend a day or two treasure hunting. The developers provided the link to the Ark Wiki for a reason and it has been a huge help for me in recovering my lost Dossiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewisHousE Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 it is realy not fair that i dont get the skins by default, and i cant play in a single player and spawn a gps because i am playing single player in a world i dont want to activate cheats in, or delete him... 23 hours ago, N7_Sinner said: This is likely because, like the rewards on the Xbox One version of the game, the Bionic Giganotosaurus skin and Manticore Armor skin must be unlocked by fulfilling certain requirements.

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted December 11, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2016 Then you just gotta play the game to get the items. After all the game is for playing. It's completely fair. Exclusives shouldn't just be about giving stuff away on a plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7_Sinner Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Xbox players had to earn their rewards, myself included. You may not like it, but the entire Xbox community would likely feel neglected if the PS4 community had their in-game rewards handed to them on a silver platter. I know that I would, but I won't argue that point any further. You asked for help and we gave you help. What you choose to do with our advice is your prerogative. You aren't entitled to those exclusives simply because you purchased the game. Earning them feels far more rewarding in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewisHousE Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 you are all right, i like to earn it too. first, i didnt know you can earn it legit without buying(i bought the dlc only for the scorched earth i dont realy care about the in game items). second, it is okay to earn it, but the publishers cant write that you get this rewards if you dont get them, its just aint right...

Phichikapparho Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I don't think that they marketed it as free at all. I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong that's the word they used was exclusive. As in the PS4 users get this and no one else does. Or am I wrong and these items are attainable by anyone playing on any system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7_Sinner Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Don't worry, OP. They did the same thing to Xbox users. The Xbox launch trailer debuted the Bionic Rex skin, but provided no insight into how to obtain it. I didn't even know that there was an unlockable trophy in the Xbox version as well until the game was already released on the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidenUchiha Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It does seem a bit strange though, every other game (i have come across at least) puts redeem account locked items in inventory so if you bought the dlc and base game just for these skins and did not get them i can see the frustration lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
