Legions of you turned out last week for the virtual E3 booth in PlayStation Home, and one of the biggest showcases was the introduction of DUST 514, a PS3-exclusive PSN multiplayer shooter from CCP. As the excitement around DUST 514 is growing each day, I wanted to let everyone know that there are still some DUST 514 beta codes available.
Log into PlayStation Home today and make your way to the DUST 514 space, called The Event Horizon Lounge. It is found directly on the Navigator (once in Home, hit Start > Navigator > New and Recommended > The Event Horizon Lounge). Once in the Lounge, talk to the bartender. She’ll give you a little info on Mercenaries, and direct you to the Recruiter who can help you get a beta code. Once you’ve learned more about the EVE universe and secured your code, make your way down the corridor on the left and play the addictive game of Slay—a tabletop style game of world domination.
Lastly, of course there are rewards in the Event Horizon Lounge:
- Dropsuit Challenge – If a user plays a game of Slay and wins, they get a free DUST 514 Merc Dropsuit outfit for their avatar. There will be new Dropsuits released every week (total of 4)
- Also, if a user downloads the DUST 514 client, released later this year, they will also be rewarded a free Companion Drone
We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
Anyone with an extra beta code?? please help me out @ MushThePainter, I’ve tried everything for a code so I’m SOL atm.. thanks in advance
Not cool, Sony and CCP. Not cool.
Last week, I heard on the PS Blog’s E3 livestream that I could access Dust 514 beta access through the virtual E3 booth. While technically true, you wasted 30 minutes of my time – if I had known Event Horizon was a separate space, and that the “exclusive” Dust 514 booth in E3 was just a link to that space, I could skipped all of the E3 booth’s ridiculous fetch quests.
So, after jumping through those hoops, I arrive in Event Horizon only to find a cumbersome and complicated strategy game that needed to be played before I could receive a code. I didn’t have the time to learn this last weekend, so I came back today (one week later) to play and get my code.
Yep, the codes are all gone.
Spare us the “don’t worry, more are coming this summer” bit. It’s like you DON’T want people to try your game and get hyped for it.
@36 – Slay is turn-based.
@Everyone wanting a code – Sorry, I took seven of them, one for each person on my PS3 (and only, like, two-and-a-half of us would play it).
@Cade – Alright, third time, second day that I’ve won a game of Slay, and no new suit (I have the Gallante one; new one is Amarr Heavy?). Do I have to talk to the recruiter again or something? Or, more simply, do I have to win on a map I haven’t won before? If the latter’s the case, what for people who beat every map in the first week? And, again, when do new weeks start?
The suits are swapped out on Monday mornings (GMT) and will rotate, so if you missed a suit, you’ll have another chance in the coming weeks.
