We’re one of the lucky ones as we’re already in the closed beta of CCP Games free-to-play massively multiplayer shooter, but if you fancy joining us there’s at least one way to guarantee access.

The Mercenary Pack, which is available now via PSN, is priced at $19.99 and gives players $50 worth of goodies. The pack includes in-game currency, items such as a Scout Dropsuit and weapons including 50 fused Locus grenades. Players will also get guaranteed access to all beta events.

The first scheduled beta event kicks off on Thursday, June 28 and they’ll be more beta weekends over the coming weeks in the lead up to launch. If you don’t want to buy the pack you can still register your interest for the beta at www.dust514.com/beta. 

                

Here’s the full contents of the Mercenary Pack:

4,000 Aurum ($20 USD value) - the in-game currency for DUST 514 that you can buy in the PS Store

30-dat Active Skill Booster - increases earned Skill Points (SP) by 50%

'Dragonfly' Scout Dropuit - a uniquely designed armor with unlimited use

'Toxin" ICD-9 Submachine Gun with unlimited use and a custom skin
