Lost Explorers' Swords Pack

Two sword cosmetics for explorers who commit before the jungle opens. Here's exactly what's in the pack, how you get it, and the fine print.

Last updated 2026-07-02 · Patch pre-launch demo

The Lost Explorers' Swords Pack is the pre-order bonusfor The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu — two blade skins styled as relics of the expeditions that didn't make it home. They are cosmetics for existing sword-class weapons: no stats, no rank shortcuts, no gameplay edge. The theme fits the game's grimmest running joke, since out in the jungle you regularly meet the previous lost explorers personally.

How to get it

  • Steam / Epic / Microsoft Store: pre-order the standard or Deluxe edition before July 15, 2026; the pack unlocks with the game at launch.
  • PS5 / Xbox Series X|S: same deal, and console pre-orders also run about 10% off ($26.99 standard / $35.99 Deluxe).
  • Deluxe Edition buyers: you get this pack plus the separate Abyssal Gear cosmetics — they don't overlap.

The fine print

Nacon hasn't said whether the pack will be sold separately after launch — with most of their releases, pre-order cosmetics either stay exclusive or reappear months later in a bundle. If the skins matter to you, the safe assumption is that July 15 is the deadline. Physical edition pre-orders include a voucher for the same content.
