Jacob has been gaming since the original Game Boy was placed in his hands. Due to his passion for the field, writing talent, and a keen eye for SEO, he made his games journalism debut in 2019. When he isn’t playing the latest titles, he is tinkering with retro tech to bring it into the modern era.
Star Wars Zero Company is taking things XCOM style, swapping out the running and gunning of Battlefront, for example, for something a little more methodical.
If you’re already sold on some tactical strategy in the Star Wars universe and know you’ll be picking it up, pre-ordering the game will secure you a small collection of extra goodies for your droid companions.
This means rather than giving you an exclusive weapon or anything that could potentially affect gameplay, the Star Wars Zero Company pre-order bonus is all about making your robot pals stand out a little more.
What is the Star Wars Zero Company pre-order bonus?
If you’re down for picking up Star Wars Zero Company early, you will net a Pack, no matter the edition, containing a few cosmetics as well as a specific Droid to kick things off.
This is called the Crystalline Astromech Pack and here’s everything it includes:
- R3 droid
- Translucent “crystalline” astromech head for the R4 droid variant
- Translucent “crystalline” astromech head for the R5 droid variant
- Translucent “crystalline” astromech head for the exclusive BR-1 droid

The crystalline heads are the meat of the Pack, giving the usual astromech design a much more translucent appearance, essentially letting you see inside the Droids’ brains.
You’ll also get access to the R3 Droid itself as part of the pack, adding another option to your robotic roster, something that might actually be more attractive to you than the skin variants.
What might be interesting about all the above is that the BR-1 is a droid exclusive to Star Wars Zero Company. While R-series astromechs have been around the galaxy for decades, BR-1 is specific to the game, so the crystalline head gives you an additional way to customize this newcomer.
You’ll have right up until the August 27 release date to pick up a copy of Star Wars Zero Company and be eligible for the pre-order bonus, so you are able to mull over the decision if you need to.
