FAQ

Does beta progress carry to launch?
Specific beta rewards carry forward — cosmetic unlocks earned in the August beta are kept at launch. See the beta carry-over guide for the list.

E-Day’s multiplayer progression is a shared account system across both modes — Horde Siege and Versus feed the same XP, rank and cosmetic economy. Here is how it works and what the premium currency actually buys.

How does multiplayer progression work?

  • Account XP and ranks — matches in either mode advance a shared progression track.
  • Shared unlocks — customization earned in one mode is usable in the other.
  • Cosmetics focus — progression rewards are cosmetic: character skins, weapon skins, and customization items.

What is Iron?

Iron is E-Day’s premium currency — used for cosmetic packs and store items. Confirmed sources:

Source Iron
Premium Edition / Premium Upgrade 1,000 Iron
Collector’s Edition Same digital extras as Premium

The store sells themed packs — the Emergence Customization Pack and seasonal packs are part of the Premium bundle. For the edition comparison see the editions and pre-order bonuses guide.

What customization is there?

  • Character skins — the Exfil Dom pre-order skin, squad skins shown in the beta, and more.
  • Weapon skins — including the Exfil weapon skin set.
  • Bravo Squad Signature Weapon Pack — a Premium bundle item usable in campaign and multiplayer.

Does beta progress carry to launch?

The August Open Beta granted cosmetic rewards that carry to launch — earned skins and banners stay on your account. The exact list is in the beta rewards carry-over guide.

How does crossplay affect progression?

Progression follows your account across Xbox and PC via Play Anywhere and account linking — your rank and cosmetics are the same wherever you play. Details in the crossplay and cross-save guide.
