How to get a pre-order DLC
The Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot pre-order brings some special bonuses that you can redeem in two ways. Those who purchase the game physically will receive codes for them, while those who have purchased the game digitally will see the content added automatically.
The first pre-order bonus is a special sub-quest known as “A Competitive Game with Friends”, which gives you a chance to face off against some of the other Z fighters in friendly matches. The second is early access to special training featuring the all-new character and member of the Ginyu Force known as Bonyu. Finally, you have a special item known as the Smirking Ultra Mega Roast, which increases your melee attack and HP permanently for the character you're using it on.
At times, it can be difficult to know where to access pre-order content in the actual game, but it's presented fairly simply in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. After you have redeemed the codes for a physical version or pre-ordered the digital version, you don't have to do anything else outside of the game. All you have to do is start your game and you will be prompted as soon as you will launch it for the first time.
It breaks down when you have access to each of these bonuses, which we'll relay here. Right from the start, you'll have the Ultra Mega Roast smile added to your inventory, so you can use it anytime you want. The other two will require you to progress in the game up to certain points.
To access "A Competitive Game with Friends" you must play through Episode 2 of Cell Saga: For The Future and you will be able to access this sub-quest in the game. After Episode 2 ends from Cell Saga, an event will take place automatically for Bonyu training, so keep an eye out for that so you can access it later. Apart from the Smiling Ultra Roast, you will have to wait a while to access the other bonuses, so keep playing and you will eventually access them.
For those who missed the Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot pre-order period, you can still access this content, but at a cost. You can go to your respective store for the platform you have the game on and purchase the Pre-Order Pack DLC for $ 4,99 right now.
