It’s official: Hi-Rez’s shooter hybrid Paladins is leaping into open beta on Steam today, complete with Steam achievements!
“Some of the newest features of the Paladins Open Beta include a new user interface, new match lobby, 17 Champions, a third map (Enchanted Forest), a more robust in-match Item system, the ability to mix head, body, and weapon skins on each champion, and a new ranked Competitive queue with leaderboards. Paladins has been built from the ground up to support esports and features a robust spectator client. Hi-Rez Studios has plans to support the growing Paladins player base with servers in key locations across the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.”
In celebration of the launch, Hi-Rez has granted Massively OP a truckload of keys for a special character to help you get started: Cassie, The Hunter’s Daughter, who fled her home and yoinked her father’s bow to pew pew her own way through adventure and glory. The key will unlock Cassie as well as her cloaked Northern Watch skin.
Click the Mo button below (and prove you’re not a robot) to grab one of these keys!
No keys left! Sorry.
To redeem your key, you will need to create and log into your Hi-Rez account, and then download and launch Paladins (it doesn’t matter whether you do that through the website or Steam). Once you’re logged into the game itself, click on “Store” from the top navigation menu inside the game. Click on “Redeem Code” and type in the code that you wish to redeem. Then click “Submit.” (While Hi-Rez has told us the keys should work in Steam, we have not been able to do so successfully, but applying keys inside the game definitely works.)
The game is “is now and always will be free-to-play” on Steam, though there are optional paid packages available.
- If there’s no captcha or Mo button and all it says is “No keys left! Sorry” in big letters, then we’re out of keys. If we get another batch from the studio, we’ll send out a note on social media.
- Having problems with the captcha not working? Try an alt browser or clear your cache.
- Record your code somewhere safe as soon as you get it! If you lose it after all of our keys are given out, you will not be able to recover it.
Good luck and have fun!
