It is fairly common for developers to give players who helped test an early version of a game something to show their gratitude. These usually come in the form of some special cosmetics that they can show off once the game fully releases.

The First Descendant has had 2 major Beta events. These were the Steam Beta Test in October 2022 and the Crossplay Open Beta Test in September 2023. Those who were present in one or both of these events will be getting rewards based on which ones they participated in. There was a lot of useful information gathered by players thanks to these Betas.

How To Claim Beta Rewards

Claiming these rewards is a simple process, as they will be mailed directly to each player's account. Players just need to head over to the hub world of Albion and check their Mailbox for their rewards. This mailbox will show on their map and is just past the first left turn once players spawn in. Once they select one of the messages in the mailbox, they will see various options available at the bottom of the screen. Players will need to select the option "Acquire All Attached Items" to receive rewards. Players will be receiving mail in this way for many other forms of rewards, which can be obtained by playing the game and through other means such as Twitch drops.

Rewards such as emotes can be used with any of the playable characters in the game. However, certain rewards, such as head skins, can be exclusive to specific characters. Luckily, Bunny is a character that players will be able to unlock by completing a specific mission; making the Bunny head skin cosmetic one they will be able to use later on.
