Attack on Titan 3
The $89.99 Attack on Titan 3 Digital Deluxe Contents bundle ships with a curated mix of cosmetic suits, weapon augments, and starter goods that hit your inventory the moment the title screen loads. Pre-orders of Attack on Titan 3 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC unlock the Wings of Freedom Earrings, but the Deluxe tier layers three additional packs on top, including the tier-defining Officer Squad Leader Artifact and the bulk Special Weapon Enhancement Pack.
Attack on Titan 3 Digital Deluxe Contents Overview
The Digital Deluxe tier on the Attack on Titan 3 Steam store page bundles four discrete add-on packs under a single $89.99 SKU. The official KOEI TECMO America store clarifies that the bundle layers art book, costume, and customization goods in addition to the consumable packs, while AOT2 save data triggers an extra cross-buy bonus for veterans.
Quick Summary at a Glance
| Pack Name | Type | Delivery Timing | Where It Lands |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Equipment Pack | Cosmetic + Customization | Day 1 | Customize menu |
| Starter Item Pack | Consumable Boost | Day 1 | Item chest |
| Officer Squad Leader Artifact | Equipment Augment | Day 1 | Squad loadout |
| Special Weapon Enhancement Pack | Materials | Day 1 | Item chest |
All four packs are baked into the Digital Deluxe download rather than unlocked later through progression. Players who bought the Standard Edition can bridge the gap with a separate Digital Deluxe Upgrade Pack, which mirrors these same four bundles for users who changed their mind after launch.

Original Equipment Pack Breakdown
The Original Equipment Pack focuses on visual identity rather than stat boosts. According to the official KOEI TECMO description, this pack outfits your character with three signature suits and seven customization items that previously appeared only as paid DLC in earlier AOT entries. Squad members you recruit on Exterior Scouting Missions can also wear these items once you assign them from the barracks.
Cosmetic Categories in the Pack
| Category | Items Included | Slot Type | Rarity Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Survey Corps Uniform variants | 3 (Original colorways) | Body | Cosmetic |
| Boots and gloves sets | 2 (matching pairs) | Footwear / Hand | Cosmetic |
| Custom cap insignia | 2 (captain + veteran) | Head | Cosmetic |
| Cape color swaps | 2 (winter + formal) | Cape | Cosmetic |
Early Loadout Priority
Pairing the captain cap with the formal cape creates the Veteran Commander look that players in the AOT subreddit community frequently flag as the best stat-free flex option in the early game. The cosmetic-only tag is important because none of these items raise ODM gear stats, blade durability, or squad morale, so veterans who min-max progression should treat this pack as a flex rather than a power boost.
The seven customization slots map directly to the character creator in the Customize Character screen, which means you can re-equip them on any save file without losing materials. If you want the visual hits to translate into combat performance, our Combat Arts usage primer explains how Buddy Arts and Boost Move factor into high-tier fights even when your gear is purely cosmetic.
Starter Item Pack and Launch Bonuses
The Starter Item Pack shifts the focus from cosmetics to consumable goods. Community-reported counts list roughly 30 use-per-day restoration items mixed with crafting resources, all of which automatically land in your item chest the moment you start a new save.
Contents Listed by Community Reports
| Item Type | Approximate Quantity | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| High-grade gas canisters | 15 units | Replenishing ODM mid-mission |
| Repair kits (blade/grip) | 10 units | Field-repair after Titan fights |
| Recovery salves | 5 units | Casual Mode experiment runs |
| Crafting components | Mixed | Early Material Market handoffs |
The pack also includes the Starter Bonus Goods drop, which is a small companion bonus that grants minor stat nudges on the first three story chapters. According to community testing, the bonus goods drop is consumed automatically and does not restock, so plan to chain them into mid-difficulty missions before they expire on your seventh in-game day.
Launch and Early Purchase Bonuses Stacking Order
The official KOEI TECMO America page confirms three bonus tiers stacking on top of any Deluxe purchase:
-
Pre-order bonus: Wings of Freedom Earrings — granted to every format, regardless of edition, until the release cutoff.
-
Early purchase bonus: Wings of Freedom Hoodie — automatically granted for any edition purchased before December 23, 2026, including Standard.
-
AOT2 save data bonus: cosmetic rewards tied to detecting Attack on Titan 2 save files on your console or Steam library.
Stacking all three lets you start day one with both earrings and hoodie equipped, regardless of which edition you purchase. The exact equip order matters because the earrings occupy the Accessory slot while the hoodie functions as a cape variant; you cannot layer two capes at once.
Officer Squad Leader Artifact and Weapon Augment Pack
The Officer Squad Leader Artifact is the single non-consumable item in the Deluxe bundle and the one players in the community rate as the highest-value component. It unlocks an exclusive equipment slot tied to squad leadership bonuses, which our Combat Arts tactical breakdown describes as one of the strongest perks in the entire roster.
Artifact Slot Mechanics
The artifact attaches to your Squad Officer role rather than the main character, which lets you choose between two leadership bonuses at a time:
| Bonus Name | Trigger Condition | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Rally Boost | Squad morale drops below 50% | Restores +15 morale over 10s |
| Veteran Vigor | Squad member survives Titan encounter | +5% attack for next encounter |
| Tactical Anchor | Squad retreats after defeat | Reduces retreat penalty by half |
Community feedback suggests the Tactical Anchor is the best early pick because the penalty reduction softens the squad death permanence rule, which our Special Exterior Missions guide explains in detail. Pairing the artifact with the right leadership bonus can buy you an extra retreat attempt per run before any squad member is locked out for the rest of the playthrough.
Special Weapon Enhancement Pack Material Mix
The Special Weapon Enhancement Pack is a materials-heavy drop that targets the Weapon Enhancement vendor introduced in earlier AOT entries. According to the Xbox Store page, the pack lands in your item chest alongside the consumable Starter Item Pack and remains tradeable at the Materials Market NPC until you spend it.
| Material Category | Approximate Units | Primary Vendor |
|---|---|---|
| Enhancement stones (mid) | 20 | Weapon Enhancement Pack items vendor |
| Enhancement stones (high) | 8 | Same vendor, upgrade path |
| Elemental crystals | 4 | Blade infusion |
| Salvage components | 12 | Materials Market NPC |
Combining these with the Starter Item Pack crafting components lets you push a single blade through several enhancement tiers on day one. Players on the Steam discussions board note that pairing the high-grade elemental crystals with the Power of Fire or Power of Lightning blade variants produces the strongest early burst damage against the Nine Titan encounters.
Digital Deluxe vs Standard vs SteelBook Launch Edition
The three retail tiers on offer target very different buyers. Standard covers the core campaign only, Digital Deluxe layers the four packs described above, and the SteelBook Launch Edition mixes physical collectibles with a base game disc. The table below compares the three formats side by side using figures pulled from the Xbox Store and KOEI TECMO America pages.
Edition Comparison Table
| Feature | Standard | Digital Deluxe | SteelBook Launch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base game | Yes | Yes | Yes (physical) |
| Original Equipment Pack | No | Yes | No |
| Starter Item Pack | No | Yes | No |
| Officer Squad Leader Artifact | No | Yes | No |
| Special Weapon Enhancement Pack | No | Yes | No |
| Wings of Freedom Earrings | Pre-order only | Pre-order only | Pre-order only |
| Wings of Freedom Hoodie | Until Dec 23, 2026 | Until Dec 23, 2026 | Until Dec 23, 2026 |
| SteelBook case + art book | No | No | Yes |
| AOT2 save data bonus | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Price (USD) | $59.99–$69.99 | $89.99 | $89.99–$99.99 |
Upgrade Path Options
Players who chose Standard but want the four Deluxe packs later can grab the Digital Deluxe Upgrade Pack, which the KOEI TECMO store describes as a separate SKU that layers all four bundles onto an existing save. Combined with the Wings of Freedom Earrings breakdown, the upgrade path covers every cosmetic exclusive without repurchasing the base game.
If you are undecided between SteelBook Launch and Digital Deluxe, weigh whether you prefer a physical disc and art book over the consumable boost from the Starter Item Pack and Weapon Enhancement Pack. The Deluxe tier is purely digital, so a collector who values physical goods will likely lean SteelBook; a min-max player who values day-one power will lean Digital Deluxe.

Is the Officer Squad Leader Artifact cosmetic or functional?
The artifact is functional and unlocks an exclusive equipment slot for your Squad Officer role, with leadership bonuses that affect morale, attack power, and retreat penalties during Exterior Scouting Missions.
