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

steamxcom-enemy-unknown

Can armor color only be changed if you have a preordered version of XCOM?

On the customization screen I can change hair, face, name, etc, but I can't change the color of the armor.

UPDATE: Seems that the answer is yes, so the next question is this:
Is there anyway to get the Elite Soldier Pack DLC if you bought the game on Steam after release?

Best Answer

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.
