For anyone who pre-orders Battlefield 3 through the EA Store, you’ll be rewarded with two Battlefield Play4Free in-game items: The Battlefield 3 Edition 870 Combat shotgun and the Battlefield 3 Beret. Not only will these help customize your in-game avatar, you’ll also be able to get up-close and personal, devastating the competition with the business end of one of the most effective close-quarter weapons in history.

How does one redeem these items? First, you’ll need to pre-order Battlefield 3 from the EA Store. Once that’s completed, you’ll simply need to visit the Battlefield Play4Free website and log in with the same account used when pre-ordering Battlefield 3. For new Play4Free players, don’t fret – just create an account and a soldier when prompted and you’ll be a-okay. Once that’s done, click the “My Stuff” tab in the navigation bar and choose 'Rewards' from the dropdown menu and select the rewards you’d like to redeem.
