[Minor] Pre-order Bonus Weapons (13th February, 2014)
A while ago, FromSoft announced a set of five weapons and shields which would be set aside as pre-order bonuses in Japan. Well, it turns out they've been confirmed as a global pre-order bonus for the Black Armor and Collecter's Editions of Dark Souls II. However, before you start complaining about DLC exclusive weapons, all of these items can be found later on in the game. By pre-ordering either special edition, you simply gain earlier access to these five weapons.
