Overview
Did you buy RAGE 2 Deluxe on Steam? Didn’t get the content? Never fear! Ranger Smeggy87 is here!
Introduction
This issue has left many frustrated but luckily is fairly simple to fix, there are a lot of steps but they are pretty easy 🙂
Step 1 – Bethesda Account
1. In the main game menu press R to access Betheseda.net, and log in or create a new account if you haven’t already got one.
2. Once you’ve verified your email address, click your name on the website (top right corner) and select Linked Accounts.
3. If not already linked to Steam click Add a Platform and Steam. Provide login credentials as required.
4. Restart your game. Press R to check you are logged into Bethesda.net. (Statistics and Friends should now be accessible in the menu).
Step 2 – Creating a Support Ticket
5. If When your new content doesn’t appear, click the link to visit Bethesda.net. Scroll to the very bottom of the website and click Support Center.
6. Click the picture of RAGE 2.
7. Scroll down and click Submit a Ticket.
8. Click In-Game Support.
9. There’s only one option… I think you got this.
10. Fill in the required information. Remember your Pleases and Thank Yous. Refrain from insults.
You’ll need to attach a screenshot of your receipt. (Help>Steam Support>Rage 2>View Receipt in the Steam client). The file name of the screenshot must not contain a full stop/period otherwise it will fail to upload.
If you don’t know how to take a screenshot, well frankly you’re beyond help. (Only joking 😀 Google it)
Step 3 – Emailing Bethesda
11. You will shortly receive a useless copy-pasted email detailing where to find the BFG and other content, and some blurb about product codes.
12. When you realise you still can’t find the Deluxe content, reply to the email and explain your situation.
13. You will receive a reply asking you to, once again, send the screenshot of the receipt. Make sure to attach the correct image file – nobody at Bethesda wants to receive a picture of your furry love banana because you weren’t paying attention.
14. You will soon receive an email to confirm the content is now added to your account.
Step 4 – Play!
15. Play the game, you should receive an Intel pop-up once you have loaded your save, and a meteor will crash just north of the starting town. Congratulations! You just went Deluxe 🙂
Additional Information
As well as the Deluxe Bonuses you now have the Rise of the Ghosts DLC, which adds a new region and missions (available after the Blackout mission).
When I was trying to get my Deluxe bonuses I started a new game save to see if it would trigger the BFG meteor, and this is when I first noticed the new region on the minimap – so I don’t know if it will show up in an existing game save or if you need to start a new game. EDIT: Just tested with an old game save and it does work 🙂
