Developers Icarus Studios have announced that their unique post-apocalyptic MMO, Fallen Earth, will now come with a new exclusive item for players who purchase the game from Direct2Drive. Having worked with the digital distribution site for three months, the Fallen Earth Marketing Manager, Jessica Orr, notes that "Direct2Drive has been a major player in Fallen Earth's digital distribution since launch and we are pleased to be able to offer their customers a new item."

The item being given to players is called a "Wasteland Survival Kit," and it simply provides new players with some practical items for getting started in their new post-apocalyptic Earth. Contained in the kit are two "Back Alley Experience Shots," a "Wasteland Scavenging Tool," and a Buddy Key.

The Back Alley Experience shots both grant an additional +5% experience gained for a few hours, while the Wasteland Scavenging tool adds an additional six points to the player's scavenging skill, which will help them get through those tough first days of scarce resources. Finally, each Direct2Drive purchase also comes along with a buddy key, so that players can invite their friends to come survive in Fallen Earth!
