Saros players are urgently unlocking the elusive “Hand of the Shore” armor after confusion over how to claim the pre-order bonus has surfaced since the game’s release. The highly anticipated PS5-exclusive shooter does not explain in-game where to find this armor, sparking immediate player demand for a clear guide.
Players enter the game tutorial, where they face the boss known as Husband, one of their first major challenges. After initial deaths, players return to the passage, the game’s central hub, and then start in the first biome called Destroyed Hill. However, the key point for claiming outfits is that players must first unlock Primary, their AI robot companion and base operator.
Via Primary, players use their collected Lucenite—the in-game currency—to upgrade the armor matrix and crucially access the “Armor” tab. This is where the Hand of the Shore costume and all other cosmetic outfits become available. Without unlocking Primary, none of the pre-order or deluxe edition outfits can be equipped.
Five Exclusive Outfits in Saros Reveal PS5 Franchise Influence
Saros offers a total of five armor sets, all purely cosmetic with no gameplay advantages, emphasizing player personalization. The sets resonate with PlayStation fans as some draw inspiration from iconic PS franchises like God of War and Ghost of Yotei. Here’s how the outfits break down by version:
- Echelon IV: Standard outfit available to all players
- Hand of the Shore: Pre-order bonus exclusive
- Astra: Pre-order bonus exclusive
- Midgard: Deluxe edition exclusive
- Onryo: Deluxe edition exclusive
Players who purchased the game’s deluxe edition unlock the highest tier of armor customization, which includes Midgard and Onryo. Meanwhile, standard version players are limited to the default Echelon IV outfit, unable to access alternate armor sets.
Why This Matters Right Now
With Saros rapidly gaining traction on the PS5 platform, the confusion around claiming pre-order rewards impacts player experience and community chatter nationwide, including gamers in Alaska fluidly engaged in PlayStation ecosystems. Knowing exactly how and where to find these outfits spurs immediate re-engagement, essential for the game’s early success and player retention.
The game’s structure means players must adapt quickly, mastering core mechanics and returning to the passage regularly to upgrade and customize through Primary. This design emphasizes strategic flow and rewards early investment in upgrades to personalize gameplay experiences.
Fans across the United States and Alaska are advised to check their progression carefully to ensure they unlock Primary promptly and claim their exclusive gear before moving deeper into biome challenges.
What’s Next for Saros Players
As the community deciphers best strategies for progressing through biomes like Destroyed Hill, players should watch for future updates on additional content or outfit drops. The game’s exclusive cosmetic sets may expand as developers respond to player demand nationwide, making timely unlocks increasingly important.
