How to activate the Elite Soldier Pack for XCOM PC Version

xcom-enemy-unknown

I honestly tried all common sense approaches to activating the Elite Soldier Pack for my PC DVD version of XCOM – Enemy Unknown and have not managed to do it. The leaflet that comes in the box says that once I install the game, I should "redeem my Soldier Pack with the following code" (I'm guessing on Steam Service), but I've found no such option on Steam, if I click the DLC button on Steam it says there's no DLC for this game, and also trying the "redeem" option in the upper menu of the Steam client and entering the code on the Elite Soldier leaflet didn't work (says code is invalid).

So please, if anyone has bought the PC DVD version and than has managed to activate his Elite Soldier Pack, can you please tell me how you did it?

Redeem that code just like you'd do for full-game CD-key.

Please follow these instructions to activate a new retail purchase on Steam:

Launch Steam and log into your Steam account.

Click the Games Menu.

Choose Activate a Product on Steam...

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.

This will activate the DLC. That worked for me. If it doesn't, you should contact the support.

Steam – Is the ability to change armor color only available to preorders in XCOM: Enethe Unknown

You won't get the special armor from the pre order, but you if you don't feel like buying the DLC, you can add the following lines to the end of your XComGame.ini in C:\Users\<user>\Documents\My Games\XCOM - Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config.

[XComStrategyGame.XGCustomizeUI]
bArmorDecoAvailable=true
bArmorTintAvailable=true

This will allow you to get the color customizations without the extra armor.

In XCOM how to fire or choose another soldier

You are still in tutorial mode, are forced to shoot on the other alien, just hit Tab to change to second alien, and then you'll be free to shoot it, and continue the mission as you see fit.

Take notice that later in that mission you will be encouraged to use the rocket launcher to kill some aliens that appear later, however, this time it's not mandatory and you can kill them in whatever way you see fit.
