if you pre-ordered it digitally, you should beable to cancel your preorder, even could just ask for store credit (usually faster) then just buy the digital deluxe. Who did you order it from?
I’m fairly certain you cannot get character specific legendary gear in chests, but you will get at least one guaranteed legendary, yay? The character legendary gear is pretty easy to grind for, you should get it fairly quick.
They never added the option to upgrade for some reason but you can have the game refunded and buy the Digital Deluxe instead. That’s what I did since I pre-ordered the game before Deluxe came out and the money was back in my Steam Wallet within 24 hours, so you shouldn’t miss launch 
I got it for the cheaper season pass. I’d rather have a physical copy but cheaper won me over. Didn’t even look at what else it had with it.
I have only ever opened The epic gear boxes, never got a legendary gear box in the beta. so unless you got like 10 of them…
I got 4 legendary equipment during the beta. 2 for characters I had completed lore with and 2 randoms, and to be honest they were all pretty garbage. They were “ok” pieces of gear but the 1800 shard activation made me never want to use any of them. As for the non character specific ones they were pretty terrible.
The only remotely useful piece was the Ambra specific one that gave constant heat generation on her staff. It was enough to constantly shoot fireballs with the mutation.
Wait what? You get legendary gear from DD? I thought it was just skin’s and cheaper season pass???
Some handsome badass laid out the bonuses for buying different versions of the game in another post, including:
yeah, the DD gives you 3 Legendary loot packs. Link is above in one of my earlier posts.
Yeah I was planning to buy digital version anyway because you get 5 bucks off. Then I saw that it also came with 3 legendary packs and a BB theme. That and half of those figures, to me at least, looked kinda derpy and there is no guarantee that you’ll get the one you want. After all of that it was obvious what version is the best.
Personally : I love Miko and Orendi … so exclusive skin…Make me spend more Ca$h
Pre-ordered it on Amazon in March for 35€, the season pass is 20€ but didn’t took it.
But I’m so fond of this game that when the beta ended I cancelled my command on amazon and took the DD on steam for 65€… So yeah I paid 10€ more for a kew skins and taunts, but also to help gearbox and the ability to play the game directly at launch (even if I would have the game quickly with 30 days of free amazon premium).
Legendary loot packs are very welcome though ! And golden pedestal during character selection flatters my ego 
I forgot about the pedestal and loot packs. I was really just in it for the season pass. Story mode all the way.
from my understanding, none of the skins are exclusive or skins you get only from DD. Your just getting them unlocked right away, but they are still something you can get eventually.
I enjoy the skins (and probably taunts) and I feel the gear is an added bonus since I tended to ignore the legendarys I got in beta. I’m gunna be playing pretty much all the characters fairly regularly so I wanna flaunt my sexy skins and taunts.

Yeah but legendary loot packs doesn’t just give you legendary gear, but 4 or 5 items with at least one legendary piece of gear I think ? Can’t remember exactly
But I’d probably get whatever gear I want for one or two loadouts in maybe two or three matches anyhow. It’s basically a way to get a slight head start on gear and a few extra coins from selling what I don’t want. I feel exclusive skins make more of an impact.
except they arnt “exclusive” you can get all 13 skins (lol 13) eventually. they are aparently unlocks.
The skins and Loot are just bonuses for preordering/buying the game + season pass as a bundle. both just give you a headstart.
The legendary gear I had during the beta was pretty impressive. I had an interesting one =
"+crit damage, +???, when you kill an enemy with a critical shot, the enemy explodes for 166 damage" very good when your pushing waves 
i must have missed something. is this a pc thing or a playstation thing? what do i have to purchase to get the legendary gear packs
Hu… well, at least I still got a 25% discount on the season pass because of it! Silver linings.
