Optimization Pack Content


Buy the "Optimized Edition" bundle and get the game + the content of the "Optimization Pack" DLC.
PS: It's also a good way to give extra support to the dev ;)

  • 30 000 Credits you can use to unlock bot skin parts (equivalent of 60 colors / 20 color patterns / 30 textures)
  • 3D printing models of the different bots
  • 10+ exclusive wallpapers (in 4K resolution)
  • 1 exclusive player icon

You will find the DLC files in the game installation folder.
For most people it should be C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Gladiabots.
